[E] Down in Brazil, [A]
[C#m] it takes [Am] a day to walk [Em] a mile, [B] [Bm] time just stands still, and [Gm] when the people
you [Dm] meet [C#m] look at you [Am] they smile, they [G#] still believe in style, they soothe you with [Gm] their
sambas, till [C] [F#] you really know you're down in [Fm] old Brazil,
[C#] [C#m] you can tell you're [E] down in [F#] old [B] Brazil.
[D#m] [D] [Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [A] Down in Brazil, they [Em] never hurt or win or [C] lose, if [Bm] you can feel, then [Gm] all those cafe
[A#] ole girls [A] in high [C] heel [F] shoes
[Am] [C] will [G#] really cure your [Fm] blues, [G] it seems they all [D#] just aim to
[A#] please, [F#] those women sway like [Fm] wind in the banana trees, [A#] [E] then you know you're down in
[D#m] old Brazil.
