    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 off the web and import it into Tabledit (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.

    Moderator's note:

    Apologies, but I had to delete the previous posting of a chart of this song on the Message Board. As a matter of policy, we can't risk violating copywrite laws. If folks want to share these personally through private emails, you're certainly on your own to do that, but let's avoid posting notation of entire songs here.

    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
