LA ISLA BONITA                       

     e            D            e
1. Last night I dreamt of San Pedro,
C         e        G              D
    just like I`d never gone, I knew the song.
        e              D             e
    A young girl with eyes like the desert,
C       e              G              D
    it all seems like yesterday, not far away.
  e           D              a              G
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature, wild and free,
  h              a              C    D   e
this is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita.
               D           a                G
And when the Samba played,   the sun would set so high,
        h                  a                    C      D    e
ring through my ears and sting my eyes,  your Spanish lullaby
   e          D             e
2. I fell in love with San Pedro, 
C         e            G              D
    warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me.   
e         D              e
   Te    diso     te     amo,  
C       e              G                     D
    I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast.   + Refrain
   a          F            G              a
3. I want to be where the sun warms the sky,
                         F              G             a
    when it`s time for siesta, you can watch them go by.
               F         G            a
    Beautiful faces, no care in this world,
                          F         G        H7      e
    where a girl loves a boy and a boy   -  loves a girl.
