[Verse 1]
A#m
As the sun rises
Gb C#
She opens up her hazel, beautiful eyes and
G#
Begins
A#m
Her baby cries
Gb C#
She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies
G#
Again
[Chorus]
A#m
She come from the favela
Gb
Hills of Santa Teresa
C#
Underneath the Redeemer
G#
And the sun in the sky
A#m
She come from the favela
Gb
Asks me "C aí, beleza?"
C#
Underneath the Redeemer

Where the hills come alive

She worked the favela night
A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night

A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night
[Verse 2]
A#m
And the wind blews
Gb C# G#
She lives on lonely streets where nobody goes alone
A#m
Just a young girl
Gb C#
Born on the left side of this right-handed world
G#
She knows
[Chorus]
A#m
She come from the favela
Gb
Hills of Santa Teresa
C#
Underneath the Redeemer
G#
And the sun in the sky
A#m
She come from the favela
Gb
Asks me "C aí, beleza?"
C#
Underneath the Redeemer
G#
Where the hills come alive
A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night
(favela)
A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night

She worked the favela night
[Bridge]
Gb
Deep in the colors and the streets
C#
Lost in the funk favela beats
F
Prisioneira
A#m
Dancing in the favela
Gb
Safe in the Ipanema bays
C#
We raise a glass on holiday
F
It's a lopsided world when you're a girl
F
Born into nothing at all
[Chorus]
A#m
She come from favela
Gb
Hills of Santa Teresa
C#
Underneath the Redeemer
G#
And the sun in the sky
A#m
She come from the favela
Gb
Asks me "C aí, beleza?"

Underneath the Redeemer
G#
Where the hills come alive
A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night
A#m Gb C# G#
She worked the favela night
(favela)

She worked the favela night
