[Verse 1]
Em                C/E                       Am7              C
    Moving on the floor, now babe, you're a bird of para - dise,
Em                   C/E                  A/C#           C
    Cherry ice cream    ...smile, I sup - pose its very nice,
        Em                       C/E
With a step to your left, and a flick to the right, 
      A                        C
You catch that mirror way out west,
Em                     C/E
    You know you're something special,
        A/C#                  C        E
And you look like you're the best---!

[Chorus 1]
E               B              D           A
   Her name is Rio, and she dances on the sand,
E                 B                  D             A
   Just like that river twisting through a dusty land,
E                 B                  D                 A
   And, when she shines, she really shows you all she can,
E            B             D              A
   Oh, Rio, Rio dance a - cross the Rio Grande!

[Break]

|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

   Em            C/E            A/C#            C
|  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  |

[Verse 2]
Em                        C/E             Am7           C
    I've seen you on the beach, and I've seen you on T. V.,
Em         C/E              A/C#    C                  Em
    Two---     of a billion stars,     ...it means so much to me,
C/E                   A               C
    Like a Birthday,     or a pretty view,
Em                C/E           A/C#                 C     E
    But, then I'm sure that you know, it's just for you!

[Chorus 2]
E               B             D            A
   Her name is Rio, and she dances on the sand,
E                  B                 D             A
   Just like that river twisting through a dusty land,
E                  B                 D                 A
   And, when she shines, she really shows you all she can,
E            B             D              A
   Oh, Rio, Rio dance a - cross the Rio Grande!

Em                 C/E                        Am7            C
    Hey, now! Woo,  ...look at that!  Did he nearly run you down?
       Em                     C/E
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,
A/C#                  C                Em
You make me feel a - live, alive, a - live,
C/E                  A            C             Em
     I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side, or something,
  C/E                              A/C#
I know what you're thinking,  I'll tell you something,
   C                           E
I know what you're thinking-------!

[Chorus 3]
E               B              D           A
   Her name is Rio, and she dances on the sand,
E                  B                 D            A
   Just like that river twists a - cross a dusty land,
E                  B                 D                 A
   And, when she shines, she really shows you all she can,

   Oh, Rio, Rio dance a - cross the Rio Grande!

[Chorus 4]
E               B                D              A
   Her name is Rio, she don't need to under - stand,
E               B                D              A
   And I might find her, if I'm looking like I can,
E            B               D                A
   Oh, Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land,
E                 B                   D            A
   From mountains in the north, down to the Rio Grande!
