Carioca

Song :
E
                          Am 
Say, have you seen that Carioca? 
                        E7
It’s not a foxtrot or a polka

It has a little bit of new rhythm, 
                   Am  E7 
a blue rhythm that sighs.
                       Am 
It has a meter that is tricky, 
                        E7
a bit of wicked, wack-i-wicky

But when you dance it with a new love
                             A 
there’ll be true love in her eyes.
      Bbdim                 Bm7    E7
You’ll dream  of the new Carioca,  
    Bm7        E7           A  A6 Amaj7 A6
its theme is a kiss and a sigh
     A     Bbdim              Bm7 E7 
You’ll dream  of the new Carioca,
     Bm7                   E7  
When music and lights are gone 
                     A 
and we’re saying goodbye.
