Dm C Dm
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro,
Bb/D Dm F C
just like I’d never gone I knew the song.
Dm C Dm
A young girl with eyes like the desert.
Bb/D Dm F C A/C#
It all seems like yesterday, not far away.
CHORUS:
Dm Am Am7 Gm F
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free.
C Gm C Dm
This is where I long to be, La isla bonita.
(Dm) Am Am7 Gm F
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high,
C Gm C Dm
ring through my ears and sting my eyes. Your Spanish lullaby.
Dm C Dm
Bb/D Dm F C
warm wind carried on the sea. He called to me:
Dm C Dm
«Te diso te amo.»
Bb/D Dm F C A/C#
I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast.
CHORUS
Gm Eb F Csus2
I want to be where the sun warms the sky.
Gm Eb F
When it’s time for siesta you can watch them go by.
Gm Eb F Csus2
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world.
Gm Eb F A/D Dm
Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl.
