"SAMBA TO RIO" Rio de Janeiro, world travel

SAMBA TO RIO
-------------------------------------------------------
Ive gone and done seen London,
Singapores been on my way,
No, to Tangier Im no stranger,
Nor to San Francisco bay,

But my wish list has not finished,
I have yet one more to see:
In that merry land of meu Brasil
Still I long to be!

Rio! I want to head on down to Rio!
Oh Rio! That good old Rio de Janeiro!
Oh see! Oh, that sunny city by the sea! Oh!
Forget Hong Kong, New York, Paris! Oh!
Oh, Rios where I want to be!

People in every colour of the rainbow,
Indio, Africano and Europeo!
Oh Rio, where every heart is a coracao,
Of Paulo Coelho and Ruy Castro!
Oh, Rios where I want to be! Oh!

Danced the Salsa in La Habana,
Drank a ron and coca-cola at la Tropicana,
But not a copo of caipirinha in Copacabana,
Seen the stupas up in Kathmandu,
Climbed to Machu Picchu in Peru,
Still no statue on Corcovado
Do Christo Redentor! Ooh, Jesus Salvador!

Rio of Mama Amazonas jungle!
Oh, feel that Samba swing and sway! So playful!
Oh, hear! Oh, a Bossa Nova melody! Oh!
By Joao Gilberto n Tom Jobim! Oh!
Oh, Rios where I want to be! Oh!

Tasted curry from a tandoor in Delhi,
Toasted tapas while tapping my feet to a flamenco in Madrid,
Tried a babi pangang with bami in a warung in Bali,
Ah, but once to have feijoada,
Walk the famed carnival parada,
Ah, a Cidade Maravilhosa!
Caraca, e boa! Caramba! Que boa!

Rio, that lovely place Id love to see! Oh,
Forget Hong Kong, New York, Paris! Oh!
Oh, Rios where I wanna be!

Gone de beach, man, catching surf in Saint Martin,
Checked the churches, windows, shops, museums and shows in Amsterdam,
Heard a mantra by monks in a small pagoda near to Saigon,
Done the desert way down by Dubai,
Swum the shores of Korsou, my own isle,
Scaled the Swiss snowy Alps up so high
In the sky, my oh my, but to fly over by

Rio, that lively town I live to see! Oh,
Forget Hong Kong, New York, Paris! Oh!
Oh, Rios where I wanna be!

[thierrybossanovabras]

This song is cool! I'd like to play it as well. Would it be a way to get its music sheet or at least the chords?

Thanks by advance!
