Chords for The BEST Peter Allen "I Go to Rio" Performance No Cover, No Minimum Concert Philadelphia 1977

I told you I went to Rio, didn't I?
Yeah, I told you that.
I have to tell you what happened there.
It was so bizarre.
Whenever I enter a new country, something weird happens.
And actually the same thing happened.
I was on my way to a club.
So I'm down in Rio, and it was in Carnival, you know, when everyone dances all the time.
Hey, _ _ [Gb] you're so exhausted, you can't move, but you dance on, you dance till you drop.
It's like the Red Shoes.
It's fabulous.
[Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ So we're down [Gb] there in Rio, and the first night I go to a club.
Again, on my first night in a country, I went to a club.
So we go into the club, and they're dancing.
It's like old Sergio Mendes time. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Lots of Latin American [Abm] tempos they have down there.
_ So I'm dancing to those, you know, and then all of a sudden this record comes on.
I'm going, oh, hey, what is this?
Oh, God, I love this song.
What is this?
It was me.
[B] _
_ _ _ I was there playing my record down in Rio.
Well, I thought, [Gb] kill me now.
Isn't that fabulous?
So I'm just edging my way to the dance floor, and I notice people are leaving the dance floor. _ _ _ _
But they were not leaving because of my record.
What they were doing, they were just slowly forming _ a, like a circle around the dance floor.
So I'm pushing my way through.
Excuse me, I wrote this song.
Excuse me, I wrote this song. _
They don't understand.
They speak something like Portuguese.
Why in Brazil do they speak Portuguese?
[Eb] Who knows?
But that's what they speak, so they didn't understand me.
When I get to the front of the line, I look, and it's everyone standing back watching these two girls dance.
It _ wasn't, you know, like a two girls dancing club.
It was a regular club, you know.
They were playing the records in the other clubs, too, but in this particular club, it was a regular club.
And two girls were dancing, and everyone was watching.
Why were they watching?
Because the two girls were _ _ Raquel Welch _ _
[N] _ and Ursula Andres. _ _
_ _ _ Dancing together to my [Bb] song.
_ _ [Abm] _ The four of them out there on the floor, I'm telling you, it was [Gb] fabulous. _ _
[E] This is what they were dancing. _ _ _ _
