Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Christ the Redee[C]mer tow[F]ering hig[G]h
over [C]Rio[F][G][C][F][G][C]
[G][C][F][G][C]
[F]Rio [G]de [C]Janeiro, [F]Ri [G]o
[C]Where they hel[Dm]d a sum
[Em]mit [F]to save the [G]world
And [Am]to mark [G]the time when de[F]velopment
As traditionally under[Em]stood- had [Dm]failed
And the [D]affluent North [Dm]raping the South
In[D]vestment from the North means
[Dm]Economic bondage for the South
Under the [Faug]burden o[Cm]f debt[Dm]
[Eb]payments
I was with a whore in
[Ab]Copenhagan
Drinking eight hundred dollars worth of
Cham[Eb]pagne in [Bb]kroner
[Eb]She came from [Ab]Rio
We were [Eb]trying to save the [Bb]world
We did not get what we [Dm]wanted
She wanted [D]money
She did not get what she [Dm]wanted
I missed my wife
I did not get what I [F]wanted[G]
[F]Death sat[Bb] on m[F]y lap
Death sits on all our [Bb]laps
[F]While Christ the Re[C]deemer
[F]Towers [G]high over [C]Rio
[F]Rio [G]de [C]Janeiro.
[F]Ri [G]o
