Em              C                       A7          C
  Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Em                 C          A7            C
  Cherry ice cream smile I suppose its very nice
       Em                     C
With a step to the left and a flick to the right
    A7                         C
you catch that mirror way out west

Chorus:

E           B           D             A
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
E                B              D              A
  Just like that river twisting though a dusty land
E              B                 D                 A
  And when she shines she really shows you all she can
E         B         D              A
  Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande


Bridge: C#m A F#7 A


Verse 2:

Em                     C              A7             C
  I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Em         C                A7               C
  Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Em                            C
  Like a Birthday or a pretty view
             A                              E (hold)
But then I'm sure that you know ts just for you


Chorus:

E           B           D             A
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
E                B              D              A
  Just like that river twisting though a dusty land
E              B                 D                 A
  And when she shines she really shows you all she can
E         B         D              A
  Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande


Bridge:  C#m A F#7 A C#m A F#7 A


Verse 3:
    Em                  C           A7             C
Hey now.. woo.. look at that did he nearly run you down
       Em                   C
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
A7               C                 (?)
You make me feel alive, alive alive
Em           C            A7            C
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
  C
I know what you're thinking
  C
I tell you something
  C
I know what you're thinking


Outro:

E           B             D            A
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
E             B               D              A
  And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
E         B             D                A
  Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
E          B            D                     A
  From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande


Bridge:  C#m A F#7 A C#m A F#7 A

(fade out)
E                     B
Do do-do do do de-do, Do do-do do do de-do,
D                     A
