[Verse 1]
Here I F#m7am, strolling down Atlantic Emaj7Avenue,
With the sCmaj7unlight in my Dmaj7eyes,
Here I F#m7am,  and there's nothing I would Emaj7rather do,
When I Cmaj7want some peace of Dmaj7mind
[Verse 2]
Oh,    Bm7...I leave the smoke of C#m7Rio behind,
As Dmaj7evening starts to E7sus4fly,
     Bm7I want to feel the C#m7ocean breeze,
          Dmaj7*               D#m7b5  E7sus4  
Where the mountains kiss the sky-----------!
[Verse 3]
So, come F#m7on, down Atlantic Emaj7Avenue,
Let the Cmaj7samba take a Dmaj7hold of you,
'Cause, I F#m7know, there is no place like the Emaj7Avenue,
When that Cmaj7music gets a Dmaj7hold of you
[Verse 4] 
Woh - oh,    Bm7...drive along to C#m7Ipanema,
There's Dmaj7always time to E7sus4spare,
     Bm7Forget the troubles C#m7of the world,
          Dmaj7*         D#m7b5  
When they get to much to bare
E7sus4Oh - oh, woh - oh, oh - oh!
[Verse 5]

Won't you, please, come F#m7on... down Atlantic Emaj7Avenue?
Nah - nah, Cmaj7na, nah 'n' nah - Dmaj7ah----! Ah----! Ah----!
[Bridge]
G#m7Flying down to C#7Rio, never F#m7thought I would B7be,
BmWalking by the Fdimocean, here F#mtoday,     F#m7...no,
