[Verse 1]

    C             Am
Way down among Brazilians

       Dm         G7
Coffee beans grow by the billions

       C                           C7      D7
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill

[Chorus]

               C     Am     Dm     G7 C     G7     C     G7
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

[Verse 2]

    C                Am
You can't get cherry soda

               Dm                G7
'Cause they've got to sell their quota

        C                           C7    D7
And the way things are I guess they never will

[Chorus]

               C     Am     Dm     G7 C     G7     C    N.C.
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

[Bridge]

   Dm          G7
No tea

   C            C
Or tomato juice

   Dm          G7
You'll see

   C            C
No potato juice

           Dm               Dm              D7  D7      G G G
'Cause the planters down in Santos all say: No! No! No!

[Verse 3]

  C            Am
A politician's daughter

    Dm         G7
Was accused of drinking water

        C                       C7     D7
And was fined a great big fifty-dollar bill

[Chorus]

               C     Am     Dm     G7 C     G7     C    N.C.
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

[Instrumental Bridge] Dm G7 C C Dm G7 C C Dm Dm D7 D7 G G G [Verse 3 again]

  C            Am
A politician's daughter

    Dm         G7
Was accused of drinking water

        C                       C7     D7
And was fined a great big fifty-dollar bill

[Chorus/Outro]

               C     Am     Dm       G7
They've got an awful lot of coffee

    C    Am     Dm       G7
An awful lot of coffee

  C     Am     Dm        G7 C     G7     C     G7     C     G7
A zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
