Madonna - La Isla Bonita

INTRO
C#m B

Como puede ser verdad

VERSE 1
C#m             B            C#m
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
A       C#m       E            B
  Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
  C#m              B             C#m
A young girl with eyes like the desert
A    C#m             E             B
  It all seems like yesterday, not far away

CHORUS
C#m              B
Tropical the island breeze
F#m              E
All of nature wild and free
B                F#m
This is where I long to be
F#m      B C#m
La isla bonita
C#m             B
  And when the samba played
F#m               E
  The sun would set so high
         B               F#m
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
       F#m     B  C#m
Your Spanish lullaby

VERSE 2
C#m        B            C#m
I fell in love with San Pedro
A       C#m         E                B
  Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
C#m         B      C#m
        Te dijo te amo
A     C#m            E                     B
  I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast

CHORUS
C#m              B
Tropical the island breeze
F#m              E
All of nature wild and free
B                F#m
This is where I long to be
F#m      B C#m
La isla bonita
C#m             B
  And when the samba played
F#m               E
  The sun would set so high
         B               F#m
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
       F#m     B  C#m
Your Spanish lullaby

BRIDGE
F#m        D            E            F#m
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
           F#m         D            E            
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
F#m        D          E            F#m
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
         F#m           D         E       G#7     C#m
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy ... loves a girl

SOLO

(girl...)

A   C#m   E   B

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your Spanish lullaby
