[Verse 1]
[G]Here in the country we dance and [F]we play
And we [C]pray to our saints
and [F]we make [C]love all [G]day
I fell in love with a real city [F]boy
Who's [C]afraid of his nature,
[G]afr[F]aid of his joy[G]
I punched him out and
brought him to [Gm]this hut
[F]But I k[Cm]now he'll thank[F]
me when he wakes up
We got [Bbm]trees, we got snakes,
we got acres of sky
His [C]life [Am]in th[C]e city w[Am]as making[Ab] him cry

[Verse 2]
[Gm]Come on, come on darling,
be brave for a while
You [F#]don't look afraid when

[Dm]I'll be good[D], I'll[Dm] be strong[D]
[Dm]I'll be just what you [Bb]needed all [Dm]along

[G]afr[F]aid of his joy[G]
Us Amazonians know where [F]we stand

[Verse 6]
[G]Here in the [C]coun[G]try we
dance and [F]we play
And we [C]pray to our saints
and we make love all [G]day
I fell in love with a real city [F]boy
[G]Gotta [C]teach him about nature,
and teach him about [G]joy
Us Amazonians know where [F]we stand

[Verse 7]
Here's my boyfriend, [G]he's
small, [F]he is blue
He is [Eb]cold, he is [D]rough,
he's [G]appalling that's true
But he's got the power, he's [F]got the fire
To [Eb]be just like us[D] is his on[G]ly desire

[Verse 8]
He'll learn to hunt and [G]I'll
teach him to [F]fish
We'll [Eb]boil up our [D]rice in a satel[G]lite dish
We'll plant cassava whenev[F]er we can
[Eb]Us A[D]mazonians always
get our [G]man

[Interlude 3]

[Verse 9]
Us [G]Amazonians know where we stand
[F]We got [C]kids, we got jobs,
why [G]do we [C]need [G]a man?
Us Amazonians make out alright
But we want [C]something to
[G]hold in the forest at night
