Intro 
D

D                              Bb
I'm hearing the light from the window
    D                       C
I'm seeing the sound of the sea
   D                               B7
My feet have come loose from their moorings
    G                         A
I'm feeling quite wonderfully free

Chorus :

      G                      Gm
And I think I will travel to Rio
D         A      B7
Using the music for flight
        G                    Gm
There's nothing I know of in Rio
         A                        D
But it's something to do with the night
     G                Gm
It's only a whimsical notion
   D           A   B7
To fly down to Rio to-night
      G                          Gm
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
A                      D
But then again I just might

        D                            Bb
There's wings to the thought behind fancy
        D                           C
There's wings to the thought behind play
    D                     B7
And dancing to rhythms of laughter
      G                      A
Makes laughter the rhythm of rain


      G                      Gm
So I think I will travel to Rio
D         A        B7
Using the music for flight
         G                   Gm
There's nothing I know of in Rio
          A           A        D
But it's something to do with the night
     G                Gm
It's only a whimsical notion
   D           A   B7
To fly down to Rio to-night
       G                         Gm
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
A                     D
But then again I just might

D   Db   D   C   
D   B7   G   A
G   Gm   D   A   B7
G   Gm   A   D

     G                      Gm
So I think I will travel to Rio
  D                         Bb
I feel such a sense of well-being
    D                        C
The problems have come to be solved
    D                             B7
And what I thought was proper for battle
  G                     A
I see now is proper for love


     G                      Gm
So I think I will travel to Rio 
D         A      B7
Using the music for flight
        G                    Gm
There's nothing I know of in Rio
         A            A        D
But it's something to do with the night
     G                Gm
It's only a whimsical notion
   D           A   B7
To fly down to Rio to-night
      G                          Gm
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
A                     D
But then again I just might
