[Verse 1]
    F#m7F#m7            EMaj7Emaj7       Cmaj7Cmaj7     Dmaj7Dmaj7
Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue, with the sunlight in my eyes,
    F#m7F#m7              EMaj7Emaj7
Here I am, and there’s nothing I would rather do,
    Cmaj7Cmaj7       Dmaj7Dmaj7
When I want some peace of mind!


[Verse 2]
    Bm7Bm7           C#m7C#m7      Dmaj7Dmaj7      E7sus4E7sus4
Oh---,   I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as evening starts to fly,
Bm7Bm7           C#m7C#m7
   I want to feel the ocean breeze,
      Dmaj7Dmaj7       D#m7b5D#m7b5    E7sus4E7sus4
Where the mountains kiss the sky--------, y------!)

[Verse 3]

So, come on, down Atlantic Avenue, let the samba take a hold of you,
     F#m7F#m7               EMaj7Emaj7
’Cause, I know, there is no place like the Avenue,
     Cmaj7Cmaj7    Dmaj7Dmaj7
When that music gets a hold of you!


[Verse 4]
      Bm7Bm7         C#m7C#m7      Dmaj7Dmaj7     E7sus4E7sus4
Woh - oh,   drive along to Ipanema there’s always time to spare,
Bm7Bm7           C#m7C#m7          Dmaj7Dmaj7     D#m7b5D#m7b5
   Forget the troubles of the world, when they get to much to bare---!

 Oh - oh, woh - oh, oh - oh!
