   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.
