[Verse 1]
C
He's a catholic priest in Rio
G7
in the shanty town heat
G7
Taking care of young children
C
thrown out like stray cats on the street
F
Where the shopkeepers pay the police to kill kids by the score
G7 C
Just one more criminal who won't bother the rich anymore
[Verse 2]
C
And he walks through the slums
G7
and the garbage dumbs each day at five
G7
Hoping the twins he fed last night
C
might still be alive
F
Last week a child shot, two pieces was left at his door
G7 C
Just one more criminal who won't bother the rich anymore
[Chorus]
F C
On the beaches of Rio where the hotels lights shine
Am G
you can hear bossanova and drink Portuguese wine
F Am
On the beaches of Rio money perfumes the air
C G7 C
poverty is a nuisance, you pretend it's not there
[Verse 3]
C
There's a 10 year old prostitute
G7
kissing a smiling old man
G7
who could be her grandfather
C
except he owns banks in Japan
C F
Her brother was murdered for stealing some fruit from a store
G7
Just one more criminal
C
who won't bother the rich anymore
[Chorus]
F C
On the beaches of Rio where the hotels lights shine
Am G
you can hear bossanova and drink Portuguese wine
F Am
On the beaches of Rio money perfumes the air
C G7 C
poverty is a nuisance, you pretend it's not there
[Verse 4]
C
The catholic priest sees
G7
a gang of small boys selling drugs,
G7
working as runners for
C
big time Colombian thugs
C
If they get too smart
F
they wash up like dead fish on the shore
G7
Just one more criminal
C
who won't bother the rich anymore
[Chorus]
F C
On the beaches of Rio where the hotels lights shine
Am G
you can hear bossanova and drink Portuguese wine
F Am
On the beaches of Rio money perfumes the air
C G7 C
poverty is a nuisance, you pretend it's not there
* REPEAT AND FADE OUT*
