[Verse 1]
F#m7 Emaj7
Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
With the sunlight in my eyes,
F#m7 Emaj7
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
When I want some peace of mind!
[Verse 2]
Bm7 C#m7
Oh---, I leave the smoke of Rio behind,
Dmaj7 E7sus4
As evening starts to fly,
Bm7 C#m7
I want to feel the ocean breeze,
Dmaj7 * D#m7-5 E7sus4
Where the mountains kiss the sky------, y------!)
[Verse 3]
F#m7 Emaj7
So, come on, down Atlantic Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
Let the samba take a hold of you,
F#m7 Emaj7
'Cause, I know, there is no place like the Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
When that music gets a hold of you!
[Verse 4]
Bm7 C#m7
Woh - oh, drive along to Ipanema,
Dmaj7 E7sus4
There's always time to spare,
Bm7 C#m7
Forget the troubles of the world,
Dmaj7 * D#m7-5
When they get to much to bare--------!
E7sus4
Oh - oh, woh - oh, oh - oh!
[Verse 5]

Flying down to Rio, never thought I would be,
Bm Fdim F#m F#m7
Walking by the ocean, here today, no,

Pretty soon I've got to leave,

But I know my heart will stay,

Woh -oh, oh---, oh, oh...
