Hi,
I can't find the tab, but it appears to be composed by Ary Barroso and S.K.Russell. Maybe you could find the sheet music somewhere and transcribe it. I've done that (slowly) with songs in jazz fake books. It should be really pretty on the mandolin with a lot of tremolo (which I can't do!).

Here's a long-winded way of doing it, but if you're desperate...!
Save this midi file (http://www.sunhawk.com/preview/750x4/Peer/BABRAZIL.mid) off the web and import it into Tabledit (http://www.tabledit.com/) (which you can get a free demo version of online). This should give you a rough guide for the tab. I just tried it and it worked.

sorry for posting the notation...
here are the lyrics to brazil... does anyone know what they mean? im stupid... please?
Brazil
Where hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "some day soon"
(some day)
We kissed
(we kissed)
And clung together
Then
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now
When twilight beams the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return
I will, to old
Brazil
(return) Return
(I will) I will
(to old) To
