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]
C#m B C#m
(girl...)
A C#m E B
[Verse 3]
C#m B C#m
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
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
[repeat 2x - fadeout]
