[Verse 1]
D#m
As the sun rises
Cb F#
She opens up her hazel, beautiful eyes and
C#
Begins
D#m
Her baby cries
Cb F#
She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies
C#
Again
[Chorus]
D#m
She come from the favela
Cb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
And the sun in the sky
D#m
She come from the favela
Cb
Asks me "F aí, beleza?"
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
Where the hills come alive
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
(favela)
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
[Verse 2]
D#m
And the wind blews
Cb F# C#
She lives on lonely streets where nobody goes alone
D#m
Just a young girl
Cb F#
Born on the left side of this right-handed world
C#
She knows
[Chorus]
D#m
She come from the favela
Cb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
And the sun in the sky
D#m
She come from the favela
Cb
Asks me "F aí, beleza?"
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
Where the hills come alive
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
(favela)
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
(favela)
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
[Bridge]
Cb
Deep in the colors and the streets
F#
Lost in the funk favela beats
A#
Prisioneira
D#m
Dancing in the favela
Cb
Safe in the Ipanema bays
F#
We raise a glass on holiday
A#
It's a lopsided world when you're a girl
A#
Born into nothing at all
[Chorus]
D#m
She come from favela
Cb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
And the sun in the sky
D#m
She come from the favela
Cb
Asks me "F aí, beleza?"
F#
Underneath the Redeemer
C#
Where the hills come alive
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
D#m Cb F# C#
She worked the favela night
(favela)
D#m
She worked the favela night
