Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][G][Am][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]As the sun rises
[F]She opens up her hazel,
[C]beautiful eyes and be[Em]gins
[Am]Her baby cries
[F]She picks him up
and tells him [C]beautiful lies a[Em]gain

[Chorus 1]
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Hills of Santa Te[F]resa-sa
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
And the sun in the [Em]sky
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Ask me e aí, be[F]leza-za
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
Where the hills come a[Em]live

[Interlude 1]
She works the favela night
[Am][F][C][Em]
She works the favela [Am]night
[F]Fav[C]ela[Em]
She works the favela night
[F][G][Am][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]And the wind blows
[F]She lives on lonely streets
where [C]nobody goes a[Em]lone (oh)
[Am]Just a young girl (just a young girl)
[F]Born on the left side of this
[C]right-handed world, she [Em]knows

[Chorus 2]
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Hills of Santa Te[F]resa-sa
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
And the sun in the [Em]sky
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Ask me e aí, be[F]leza-za
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
Where the hills come a[Em]live

[Interlude 2]
She works the favela night
[Am]Fave[F]la[C][Em]
She works the favela [Am]night
[F]Fav[C]ela[Em]

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]Deep in the colors and the streets
[Am]Lost in the funk favela beats
Prisio[E]neira
Dancin' in the fa[Dm]vela
[Dm]Safe in the Ipanema bays
[Am]We raise a glass on holiday
It's a [E]lopsided world when you're a girl
Born into nothing at all

[Chorus 3]
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Hills of Santa Te[F]resa-sa
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
And the sun in the [Em]sky
She come from the fa[Am]vela-la
Ask me e aí, be[F]leza-za
Underneath the Re[C]deemer-mer
Where the hills come a[Em]live

[Outro 1]
She works the favela [Am]night
[F]Fav[C]ela[Em]
She works the favela [Am]night
[F]Fav[C]ela[Em]
She works the favela night
