Chords with lyrics
Verse:
C majorC
Have you ever been down to Haiti
G7G7
When the summer sun was sinkin' low
There's nothing but romance just everwhere you glance
C majorC
And the native hearts are all aglow
C majorC
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
FF
They all stare like a statue out of stone
C majorC
When they realize what's before their eyes
G7G7
The other girls are left all alone
Verse:
C majorC
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
G7G7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
And from miles away you can see her sway
C majorC
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
C majorC
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
G7G7
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
C majorC
Just to try to be like him
Verse:
C majorC
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
FF
That makes a heart feel so sublime
C majorC
And before too long he starts singing the song
G7G7 C majorC
And then he gets in the Conga line
C majorC
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
G7G7
Part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
C majorC
It was the gold that he was seein'
Verse:
C majorC
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
FF
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
C majorC
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
G7G7 C majorC
But you were five hundred years too soon
Down in the Caribbean...
