Verse #1
[Amadd9] The surf was [E/C]easy on the [G/A]day I came to [Fmaj13]stay
On this [B/C]quiet [Cmaj7]island in the [Fmaj7]bay
I [Em7-5]remember [A7+5] a line of [A/F]women all in [F6]white
The [E7]laughter and the [Cmaj7]steel bands at [Fmaj7][Bm7-5]night[E7+9]
Verse #1
[Amadd9] All the A [E/C]mericans are [G/A]gone except for [Fmaj13]two
The [B/C]emba [Cmaj7]ssy's been hard to [Fmaj7]reach
There's been [Em7-5]talk and [A7+5]lately a bit of [Dm9]action after [Fm6]dark
Be [Em7]hind the [A7]big ca [Dm7]sino [F/G]on the [C]beach
[Fmaj9] The rules are [Cmaj7]changed
[Fmaj9] It's not the [Cmaj7]same

Verse #3
[Amadd9] Last night I [E/C]dreamed of an old [G/A]lover dressed in [Fmaj13]gray
I've [B/C]had this [Cmaj7]fever now since [Fmaj7]yesterday
Wake up [Em7-5]darling they're [A7+5]knocking the Colonel's [Dm9]standing in the [Fm6]sun
With his [Em7]stupid [A7]face the [Dm9]glasses [F/G]and the [C]gun
Chorus
[Fmaj9] I know what [B7+5]happens
[Bbmaj13] I read the [A7+5]book
[Dm9]I believe I [F/G]just got the goodbye [Em7-5]look
( I believe I [A7+5]just got the good bye look )
[Dm9] I believe I [B7+5+9]just got the good [Em7-5]bye—ye
( I believe I [A7+5]just got the goodbye [Fmaj9]look [B7+5])[Bbmaj7]
Won't you [A7]pour me a Cuban [Dm9]breeze Gretchen[F/G]
