SONG OF THE JET
(Samba do Aviao)
By: Antonio Carlos Jobim
English words: Gene Lees
Key: Eb

-5  5   -4   4   -5* -5
How my heart is sing-ing,
-6 -5*-5-5*-6 7   7  -6
I see Ri-o de Ja-nei-ro.
-7* -9  9  -10  10  -9*  -9 -7*   9
My lone-ly long-ing days are end-ing.
7  7  7   7     7   7   7   7
Ri-o, my love there by the sea,
7  7  7   7    7    7   7  7
Ri-o, my love wait-ing for me.

-5   5  -4  5  -5*
See the ca-ble cars
 -5   5* -5  -6  -5* -5 -5* -6  6  6  -6
that sway a-bove the Bay of Gua-na-ba-ra.
-7*-7  7*   -5*  -7* -7  7*
Ti-ny sail boats far be-low
 -6    6  -5*-3* -6  6  -5*
dance the sam-ba as they go.
 -7* -7  7*-5*  -7*  -7   7*
Shin-ing Ri-o, there you lie,
 7  7 7*  7*  -6 -6   7   7
Cit-y of sun, of sea and sky,
 -7*  -7*  8    8    7*  7* -7* -7*
Moun-tains of green ris-ing so high.
 5   -3   5   -5*
Four min-utes more,
  5   -5*  7  -5*  7
we'll be there at the 
-7*  7  -7* -9 -9* 9
Air-port of Ga-le-ao.
7  7 7  7   7  7   7  7 7  7   7  7
Ri-o de Ja-nei-ro, Ri-o de Ja-nei-ro,
7  7 7  7   7  7   7  7 7  7   7  7
Ri-o de Ja-nei-ro, Ri-o de Ja-nei-ro.
