Verse 1

 5  5  -4  5    -4   4   -3b
Moving on the floor now babe
  4   -3b  -4  -4 -4 4 -3b
You're a  bird of paradise
 -6  5  -4   4    -3b    
Cherry ice cream smile
-3b 4  -4   -4  -4 4 -3b
 I suppose it's very nice
 5   5   6  -6  -6   7
With a step to your left
 -6 -6  6   -6  -6   -6
And a flick to the right
 5    -4   4    -4  4  -4  4  -3b
You catch that mirror way out west
 5   -4    5     -4   -4   -4  4   -4
You know you're something special and
 4   -4   -4   -4   4   -3b
You look like your the best

Chorus

Her name is Ri-o and she dances on the sands
  7    7    7   7 -7  6   -6 
Just like that river twisting
   -7   -7 6 -5  -5 
Through a dusty land
 7    7   -8   7
And when she shines 
 -7  6  -6   -7   -7  -7  7   -6 
She really shows you all she can

 7  7 7   7 -7  6   -6  -7  -7 6  -5  -5   
Oh Ri-o, Ri-o dance across the Ri-o Grande

 7    7   7  7 -7  6    -6    -7  6  -7  7  -6
Her name is Ri-o, she don't need to understand 
 7  7   7     7   -7 
And I might find her
 6  -6  -7  -7   6  6  -5 
If I'm looking like I can
 7 7  -8  7 -7  6    -6   -7   6  -7  7   -6
Oh Ri-o, Ri-o hear them shout across the land
  7    7    7   7  -7   6
From mountains in the north
 -6   -7 -7  6 -5  -5
Down to the Ri-o Grande

 8       8   8     -8   8   -8  
Doo --- Doo,Doo -- Doo,Doo, Doo
 -8     -8  -8      -8  7   -8 
Doo --- Doo,Doo -- Doo,Doo, Doo

Verse 2

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on T.V. 
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me 
Like a birthday or a pretty view 
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you 

Chorus

Verse 3

Hey now (wow), look at that. Did he really run you down? 
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive you make me feel 
alive alive alive 

I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side 
I tell you something I know what you're thinking 
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking 

Chorus to Fade
