{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
C      G7      C
