Chords for James Taylor - Only a Dream in Rio (Video)

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] More than a distant [A] laugh, [E] _ _ _ [D] _ over [E] a shining [A] sea
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ More [E] than a steaming [A] breeze, _ [C#m] _ _ [D] _
more [E] than a [A] shining _ [B] eye
_ All they tell [A] me, _ [F#m] it's only [B] a dream in [A] Rio
_ [C#m] Nothing but [B] these, [E] sweet as it [A] seems on this [D]
very [E] first day [A] now
_ [B] They remind [A] me, [F#m] son of your soul [B] soon [E] forgotten
[A] _ _ Often [B] it's not, it's [E] rotten [A] inside and the [D] mask soon [E] slips [A] away
_ [C] _ _ [C#m] Strange taste of a [A]
dropping [G#] fruit, [C#m] romantic [A] language of a Portuguese
[G#] _ _ [A] _ Melody on a wooden [G#] [C#m] flute, summer [D] floating [E] in the sun
[A] Breeze [F#] of the home, _ [A] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ [A] take it easy _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] It's [A] alright, you [F#] can stay [B] asleep, you [F#] can close your [G#] eyes
You can trust [C#m] the people [D] in _
[B] paradise [E] to call [C#] your keeper [F#m] and tender [B] your _ goodbyes
Oh, [E]
what a night, _ [B] wonderful one [E] in a million
[A] _ Fire _ [B] _ _ [E] Brazilian [A] suns, [D] oh [E] holy sun [A] cross
[B] _ Later on, [A] take me way [B] downtown in a tin [A] can
I [B] can't come down [E] from that [A] stand
I [D] never [E] groan for such [A] a loss [F#m] when they [C#m] say
[A] Quando a nossa mãe _ [Cm] acordar, [C#m] _
_ [F#m] _ [A] andaremos [G#] a sol
[C#m]
Quando [E] a nossa [A] mãe _ [C] acordar, [C#m] _
[D] cantará [E] pelo _ [A] sertão
[B] _
_ [C#m] Quando a nossa [A] mãe _ [C]
acordar, [C#m] _ todos [A] os filhos _ [G#]
saberão
[C#m] _ Todos os filhos [G#] _
[C#m] saberão, _ [D] e [E] eu os [A] _
ensinarão
Oh, caught in the rays of the [B] rising sun
_ [A] On the [F#] run from the [B] soldier's gun
[A] Shouting out loud [F#] from the [B] angry crowd
The [A] mild, the wild [F#] and the hungry [B] child
[E] I'll [A] tell you, [F#] there's more [B] than a dream [E] in Rio
[A] _ _ [B] I was there [E] on the [A] very day, [D] and my heart [E] came back [A] alive
[E] There was more, _ _ [C#m] more [B] than the singing [E] voices
[A] _ _ [B] More than the [E] _ upturned faces, [D] and more [E] than the shining _ eyes _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ [D] But it's more [E] than the shining [A] eyes, [E] _ _ _ [D] _
more [E] than the steaming _ [B] breeze
More _ [D] _ [E] than the hidden [A] hills, [B] _ _ [C#m] _ [D] and more [E] than the concrete cries
_ [C#m] More _ _ [E]
than a distant _ path, _ _ _
[D] _ [E] or a [A] resigning sea
More [B] _ _
[C#m] _ than [E] a hungry child, _ _ _ _ [D] or like [A] another child
[B] _ _ _ _ [D] Born [E] of a living [A] _ _ [E] king
[C#m] _ _
[D] _ [E] Ah, [A] the people sit [B] around, [C#m] they will [D] rejoice
[E] Oh, the people [B] sit around [C#m] Now, now
[D] _ [E] Ah, the people sit [B] around
[A] _ _ [D] Ah
[G#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
