All the TABs on the net for this song are
absolutely shocking. This is not perfect, but
much closer to the truth.

Capo on 3rd fret

Intro E minor 7Em7 A minorAm Am/C B7B7 A minorAm B7(short)
                         ~Stanza 1~       A minorAm   D MajorD
In the sunlight of your smile,
           E minorEm    C majorC
In the summer of our lives,
         A minorAm
In the magic of love,
A minorAm   BB C majorC       B7B7  B7(short)
Storms a-bove scattered away,
                         ~Stanza 2~       A minorAm  D MajorD
Lovers dreaming in the night,
       G+G     C majorC
Reaching for paradise,
      A minorAm      E minorEm
But as the dark shadows fade,
       C majorC  B7(short)
Love sleeps away.

~Same as stanza 1~
On an empty stretch of beach,
In the pattern of the waves,
Drawing pictures with my hand,
In the sand I see your face,

~Same as stanza 2~
Skipping pebbles on the sea,
Wishing for paradise,
Sand castles crumble bellow,
The restless tide ebb and flow,

~Chorus~ (Los Lobos version)
         E minorEm Am9Am9 B7#9B7#9
Listening to a shell,
         E minorEm Am9Am9 B7#9B7#9
Hoping for your voice,
       E minorEm Am/c A minorAm B7B7 E minorEm
Beautiful Mari - a   of my soul
E minorEm A minorAm B7B7  E minorEm
    of my soul

~Chorus~ (Mambo All-Stars version)
         E minorEm B7b13
Listening to a shell,
         E minorEm B7b13
Hoping for your voice,
       E minorEm Am/c A minorAm B7B7 E minorEm
Beautiful Mari - a   of my soul
E minorEm A minorAm B7b13 E minorEm
    of my soul

Flute/Trumpet Solo ~Same as stanza 1~

Bridge ~Same as intro~

~Same as stanza 1~
Do we always be apart,
Locked forever in a dream,
If I ever love again,
Even then nothing will change,

~Same as stanza 2~
And the taste of you remains,
Clinging to paradise,
But as the distance from you grows,
All that my heart ever knows,

Chorus ~same~

E minorEm  Am9/C B7B7 repeated to the end
