[Verse 1]
Dm
As the sun rises
Bb F
She opens up her hazel, beautiful eyes and
C
Begins
Dm
Her baby cries
Bb F
She picks him up and tells him beautiful lies
C
Again

[Chorus]
Dm
She come from the favela
Bb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
And the sun in the sky
Dm
She come from the favela
Bb
Asks me “E aí, beleza?”
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
Where the hills come alive
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

(favela)
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

[Verse 2]
Dm
And the wind blews
Bb F C
She lives on lonely streets where nobody goes alone
Dm
Just a young girl
Bb F
Born on the left side of this right-handed world
C
She knows

[Chorus]
Dm
She come from the favela
Bb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
And the sun in the sky
Dm
She come from the favela
Bb
Asks me “E aí, beleza?”
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
Where the hills come alive
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

(favela)
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

(favela)
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

[Bridge]
Bb
Deep in the colors and the streets
F
Lost in the funk favela beats
A
Prisioneira
Dm
Dancing in the favela
Bb
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]
Dm
She come from favela
Bb
Hills of Santa Teresa
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
And the sun in the sky
Dm
She come from the favela
Bb
Asks me “E aí, beleza?”
F
Underneath the Redeemer
C
Where the hills come alive
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night
Dm Bb F C
She worked the favela night

(favela)
Dm
She worked the favela night
