Verse 1

-------

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

Chorus 1

--------

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

Verse 2

-------

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

Chorus 2

--------

So I t[G]hink I will travel to R[Gm]io
[D]Using the [A/C#]music for fl[B7]ight
There's n[G]othing I know of in [Gm]Rio
But it's s[A]omething to [A/C#]do with the [D]night
It's [G]only a whimsical [Gm]notion
To [D]fly down to [A/C#]Rio to-[B7]night
And I p[G]robably won't fly down to [Gm]Rio
[A]But then again I just [D]might

Verse 3

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