[Bb/D   xx0331]
[Csus2  x3003x]

   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.
