[Verse 1]
[Am]Moving on the floo[F]r now, babe,
you're a [Dm]bird of para[F]dise
[Am]Cherry ice cream[F] smile,
I sup[D]posed it's very [F]nice
With a [Am]step to your left and a [F]flick to the right
You [Dm]catch that mirror way out [F]west
[Am]You know you're some[F]thing special
And you [D]look like you're the [F]best
[A][A]

[Chorus 1]
[A]Her name is Rio[E]
and she [G]dances on the [D]sand
[A]Just like that riv[E]er
twisting [G]through a dusty [D]land
[A]And when she shi[E]nes,
she really [G]shows you all she [D]can
[A]Oh, Rio, Rio[E]
dance a[G]cross the Rio [D]Grande

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

[Chorus 2]

Did he [Dm]nearly run you [F]down?
At the [Am]end of the drive, the l[F]awmen arrive
[D]You make me feel a[F]live, alive, a[Am]live
[F]I'll take my cha[Dm]nce
'cause [F]luck is on my [Am]side or something
I [F]know what you're thinking
I [D]tell you something,
I [F]know what you're thinking

down [G]to the Rio [D]Grande
