[Verse 1]
Bm7                                     F#7
You went out on the street without your shoes on
           G
You didn't listen what your momma said
             D
She said you won't feel the benefit,
D/C#               Bm
won't feel the benefit
Bm                                 F#
And if we all went out without our shoes on
        G                  D#          D#/G  C
Tell me where would we be, where would we be

[Chorus 1]
Bb                                        C
If all the people in the world lost their reason
              Am  F               Bb
What would we see, where would we be
Bb                                              C
If all the entertainers in the world lost their music
                Am   F                Bb
What would they play, what could they say
              F#                    D#     Bb
To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves
Bb                 F#    D#   Bb   Dm
Won't feel the benefit

[Bridge]
C
You're like a cloud behind the sun
Am
Like the face behind the clown
G
You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown
F                           Em  D
And you can never look back
C
A leaf that's borne upon the wind
Am
A cardboard suitcase in your hand
    G
The wanderer soon returns
                                              F
And finds the colour of the grass is just the same
       Em                D          Am  F  C D   Dm7   Em7
On the other side of the tracks, oh no

Am  F  C D  Bdim  Ddim  Bdim  Ddim  Bdim  Ddim  Bdim  Ddim

[Guitar lead part]
D  E7  C#m  F#m  D  E7  C#m  F#m  D  E7  A

[Part II: "A Latin Break"]
A
Ooh when you smile it's like a holiday

Ooh pack your bags and we can get away
D
We'll float on a Queen down to Rio
G
There's no need to shave
                                C     Dm    C   B B B
We'll be stinking like rum in a punch

C     Dm    C   B B B

Am7  F#  Am7  F#  Am7  F#  Am7  F#

G                   Am
You can walk on the water
F                     E     F
You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo
G                      Am
You can smoke a little ganja
F                       E    F
Float like a cloud over Rio, Rio
G                     Am
You can ride with the Gauchos
F                        E      F
Swinging your bolas in a red bandana
G                    Am
You can run with the devil
F                        E    F     G   C   D
Takin' your chances with Senorita

        D#
You can drink a lot of coffee in Brazil
        Gm            C#       C
But the bill is gonna make you ill

C Csus C Csus C Csus Bb

A         D       G

[Verse 2]
Bm7                                            F#
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
           G
But if you do, you better do it right
       D                       D/C#               Bm
Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit
                             F#
Spin the wheel and take your chances
         G
And your number might come up
           D#             D#/G         C
Though the odds may be in favor of the house

[Chorus 2]
Bb                                         C
If all the people in the world would say together
                    Am    F                  Bb
We're all black and white, we're all day and night
Bb                                          C
If all the people in the world could sing together
             Am    F              Bb    F#    D#
How would it sound, what would we feel

Bb                    F#    D#   Bb   Bb
We'd all feel the benefit
