Biography:
Average White Band (or AWB) is a Scottish funk and R&B band formed in London in early 1972 that had a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. They are best known for their million-selling instrumental track "Pick Up the Pieces", and their albums AWB and Cut the Cake. The band name was initially proposed by Bonnie Bramlett; the band backed Bramlett on her first solo outing, 1973's Sweet Bonnie Bramlett, an album that presaged the Disco movement, particularly with the track Crazy 'Bout My Baby played heavily in dance clubs.

[Verse 1]
F#m7 Emaj7
Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
With the sunlight in my eyes,
F#m7 Emaj7
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
When I want some peace of mind!
[Verse 2]
Bm7 C#m7
Oh---, I leave the smoke of Rio behind,

Where the mountains kiss the sky------, y------!)

F#m7 Emaj7
So, come on, down Atlantic Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
Let the samba take a hold of you,

'Cause, I know, there is no place like the Avenue,
Cmaj7 Dmaj7
When that music gets a hold of you!

Bm7 C#m7
Woh - oh, drive along to Ipanema,
Dmaj7 E7sus4
There's always time to spare,

When they get to much to bare--------!
