[Verse]

G         C             Bb            C
I've been looking for a place to retreat
      G              C          Bb            C
Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet
G           C         Bb             C
Tend to overlook what I've been through
        G             C         Bb           C
Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you
               Eb          Cm
'Cause it goes round round round
Gm          F
Round round round
             Eb        Cm
The sun goes down down down
Bb        A
Down down down


[Chorus]

         Dm
Shining alone
           C/D
My star of Rio
         C                Gm
Driving along the moonlit sands
         Dm
Shining alone
          C/D
And all I feel
              Gm
Slipping like pearls
                 Dm  C
Right through my hands
         Dm
Shining alone
           C/D
My star of Rio
              C              Gm
You'll always light my empty skies
                Dm
Although you're gone
            C/D
I still can feel
              Gm              C
You're always there and for tonight
         Gm            C
You will be my guiding light

[Verse 2]

G      C              Bb            C
When I look into your turquoise eyes
           G             C           Bb            C
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll be safe till I die
G          C            Bb            C
Turning every coin that I ever earned
        G          C          Bb          C
Just to be with you, hope you want me too
             G      C  Bb   C
'Cause she's a real go-getter
            G     C     Bb   C
She's got a lot at stake
        G            C  Bb  C
She's a desperate woman
              G           C            Bb              C
She'll always win you over when no one else will be there
               Eb          Cm
'Cause it goes round round round
Gm          F
Round round round
             Eb        Cm
The sun goes down down down
Bb        A
Down down down
