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