Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream smile I suppose its very nice

E B D A
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Em C A7 C Em C A7 C

At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

You make me feel alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance, cause luck is on my side or something

I know what you're thinking, I tell you something

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand

And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Em C A7 C Em C A7 C

For the Chorus , try
E(4,4,4,7) , B(8,6,7,6) , D (7,6,5,5) , A(6,4,5,4) so you can slide to the next chord, though I think A(2,4,0,4) sounds better.
