[C] [Em] Moving on the floor [C] now, [Am] baby, you're a bird of [C] paradise.
[Em] Cherry eyes, green [G] smile, [C#m] I suppose that's [C] very nice.
[Em] With your left ear left and a flick [C] to the right, [Am] you've got your mirror [C] way out of the way.
[Em] You know you're [C] something [A] special and you look like [C] you're the best.
[E]
Her name [B] is Rio [D] and she dances on the [E] sand.
She's the [B] best, Rio, and [D] she's the best.
[A] [E] And when [B] she shines, [Bm] she really shows you all she [A] can.
[E] Oh, Rio, [B] Rio, [Bm] hands up, cause I'm the Rio [A] Grande.

[C] [Em] I've seen you on the [C] beach [Am] and I've seen you [C] on TV.
[Em]
To all [E] the billion stars, [C] it means [Em] so much to me, like [Am] a birthday or a [C] preview.
[Em] But then I'm sure [C] that [A] you [G#m] know it's [C] just a gimmick.
[E]
Her name is [B] Rio and [D] she dances on [A] the [F#m] sand.
[E] Just like [B] that river [D] twisting through the [A] sea.
[E] And when [B] she shines, [D] she really shows you all [A] she can.
[E] Oh, Rio, [B] dance [D] across the [A] Rio Grande.

[Em] You're the type, the love of the ride, [C#m] you make me feel [C] alive.
[Em]
[Am] In my chair, [C] the lock is open, [Em] so I don't know.
I know what you're thinking, [C#m] I'll tell you something.
[C] [Em] [E]
Her name is [B] Rio and she dances on the sand.
Oh, she [D] don't need you, [A] [E]
[B] [D] you're [A] a giant, I [E] can't explain.
Oh, Rio, [B] Rio, hear [D] them shout across [A] the land.
[E]
And [B] when she [D] shines, she really [A] shows [E] you
[B] all she can.
[D] She's the Rio Grande.
[A] [Em] [E]
[B] I've seen you on the beach [G] [Bm] and [A] I've seen you on TV.
