[verse #1]
Am           E/C         G/A           Fmaj13
The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
C       B/C   Cmaj7         Fmaj7
On this quiet island in the bay
  Em7       A7              A/F          F6   
I remember        a line of women all in white
    E7               Cmaj7          Fmaj7Bm7 E7
The laughter and the steel bands at night

[verse #1]
Am        E/C          G/A             Fmaj13
All the A mericans are gone except for two
C   B/C  Cmaj7              Fmaj7
The emba ssy's been hard to reach
             Em7        A7              Dm9          Fm6 
There's been talk   and lately a bit of action after dark
   Em7      A7     Dm7  F/G    C    
Be hind the big ca sino on the beach
Fmaj9         Cmaj7  
The rules are changed
Fmaj9        Cmaj7
It's not the same
B7           Em7     A7    Dm7   Cmaj7/G Fmaj7  E7  
It's all new players in a  whole new     ball   game

[verse #3]
Am           E/C               G/A              Fmaj13
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
C    B/C      Cmaj7           Fmaj7    
I've had this fever now since yesterday
        Em7             A7                     Dm9             Fm6
Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
         Em7    A7       Dm9     F/G     C  
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun

[chorus]
Fmaj9       B7     
I know what happens
Bbmaj13    A7  
I read the book
Dm9         F/G                  Em7 
I believe I just got the goodbye look
A7+5
( I believe I just got the good bye look )
Dm9             B7+5+9            Em7-5
I believe I just got the good bye—ye

( I believe I just got the goodbye look )
          A7              Dm9            F/G
Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen
