Verse 1: 
F5                    Bb5                        F5
It's you and me on a beach/ In nineteen-ninety eight
                 Bb5               D5          Bb5       F5
Leaning into the breeze/ From the willows and rivermen grace
    A5             Bb5         F5                        C5
Are reborn in this place/ I'm assured the procedure is painless
F5                   Bb5                         F5
The taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass
                       Bb5           D5   Bb5             F5
Keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when
         A5        Bb5              F5                     C5
You were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress

Chorus 1: 
          A5                    Bb5 
Give us a room , with a mountain view:
       F5             C5      F5           C5         Bb5
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
                    C5       F5          Bb5
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast
      C5              F5
And a dip in the ocean.

(Repeat Intro)

Verse 2: 
F5                 Bb5                      F5
The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame
                      Bb5              D5   
Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and 
Bb5        F5          A5        Bb5           F5
Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken
                C5
Form another, a mumble (?)
F5                   Bb5                  F5
And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay
                     Bb5          D5
Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple
    Bb5         F5          A5        Bb5
And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool
       F5                  C5
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto


Chorus 2: 
          A5                    Bb5 
Give us a room , with a mountain view:
       F5               C5    F5           C5         Bb5
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
                    C5       F5          Bb5
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast
      C5              F5
And a dip in the ocean.

(Repeat intro)

Bridge:
A5                Bb5
Get a load of the light in the trees and the
F5       C5          F5        C5
Sweet decay on the maritime breeze
D5                  C5   Bb5
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon 
         C5
And the heat of the tarmac
G5         C5         F5
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon

(Solo- variation on the intro/verse)

Chorus 3:
          A5                    Bb5
Give us a room , with a mountain view:
       F5            C5       F5           C5         Bb5
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
                    C5       F5          Bb5
Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler
          C5          F5   C5     Bb5
With some maps and a big brown towel
                   A5         D5
It's a beater, but today will do
      Bb5                       C5              F5
For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean.
