Down In The Caribbean chords by Jim Reeves

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
 Chord diagramC majorC
Have you ever been down to Haiti
                              Chord diagramG7G7
When the summer sun was sinkin' low

There's nothing but romance just everwhere you glance
                               Chord diagramC majorC
And the native hearts are all aglow


Chord diagramC majorC
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
                                   Chord diagramFF
They all stare like a statue out of stone
                            Chord diagramC majorC
When they realize what's before their eyes
         Chord diagramG7G7
The other girls are left all alone

Verse:
 Chord diagramC majorC
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
                                            Chord diagramG7G7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm

And from miles away you can see her sway
                                         Chord diagramC majorC
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
 Chord diagramC majorC
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
                              Chord diagramG7G7
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb

He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
                      Chord diagramC majorC
Just to try to be like him

Verse:
Chord diagramC majorC
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
                              Chord diagramFF
That makes a heart feel so sublime
                             Chord diagramC majorC
And before too long he starts singing the song
           Chord diagramG7G7                 Chord diagramC majorC
And then he gets in the Conga line
 Chord diagramC majorC
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
                  Chord diagramG7G7
Part of the Caribbean

He didn't see the charms and the open arms
                             Chord diagramC majorC
It was the gold that he was seein'

Verse:
Chord diagramC majorC
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
                           Chord diagramFF
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
                              Chord diagramC majorC
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
             Chord diagramG7G7                      Chord diagramC majorC
But you were five hundred years too soon
