| E | A | E | A |

E                    A           E
It's you and me on a beach in 1998
E                A                 C#m
Leaning into the breeze - from the willows
    A          E           G#m          A
And rhythm and grace are reborn in this place
      E                      B
I'm assured the procedure is painless 
E                   A                          E
The taxicab with no brakes around the mountain pass
E                      A             C#m  A
Keep your head in your hands - if anybody asks
         E                  G#m       A
What you mean when you were picking a fight
         E                      B
You were only complimenting the waitress 

          G#m                  A
Give us a room with a mountain view
         E
A tiny cabana by the water - yeah, by the water
    A                     G#m     C#m
And I got a rental for an hour or two
      A                       B
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean 

| E | A | E | A |

E                  A                     E
The waterfront is alight with citronella flame
E                     A                C#m
Tourists flashing the night - from the grottoes
    A         E          G#m       A
And gathering now on the heel-worn planks
      E                      B
For a drunken promenade or a mambo 
E                   A                  E
And lovers paddle a boat on the molten bay
E                A            C#m
Veering into the reeds - on a ripple
    A          E         G#m        A
And playing it cool in a bar by the pool
       E                 B
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto

          G#m                  A
Give us a room with a mountain view
         E
A tiny cabana by the water - yeah, by the water
    A                     G#m     C#m
And I got a rental for an hour or two
      A                       B
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean 

| E | A | E | A |

G#m               A
Get a load of the light in the trees
        E       B          E        B
And the sweet decay on the maritime breeze
C#m                B    A
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon
        B
And the heat off the tarmac
F#m       B        |E              |           
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon 

| A | E | A C#m | A E | G#m A | E | B | 

          G#m                  A
Give us a room with a mountain view
         E
A tiny cabana by the water - yeah, by the water
    A                     G#m     C#m
And I got a rental for an hour or two
      A                   E          C#m B     A
And a bottle in a cooler, maps and a big brown towel
       A            G#m      C#m
It's a beater but today will do
      A                       B             |E      |
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean

|A           |E     |A           |E     |
 . . . In the ocean  . . . In the ocean
|A           |C#m   |A           |E     |
 . . . In the ocean  . . . In the ocean 
|A           |C#m   |A           |E     |
 . . . In the ocean  . . . In the ocean
|A           |C#m   |A           |E     |
 . . . In the ocean  . . . In the ocean 
|A           |C#m   |A           |E     |
 . . . In the ocean  . . . In the ocean
(repeat pattern and fade)

Notes:
The song is in F, but I play it in E with a capo on the 1st fret. 
On some of the rapid chord movements I play C#5, B5 and A2 instead of C#m, B and A.

C5 = 046600
B5 = 024400
A2 = 002200
