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