La isla Bonita

 

 

 

1. Last night I dreamt of San Pedro, just like I’d never gone. I knew the song,
|Bm |A |Bm |Bm |G |G |D |F#
a young girl with eyes like the desert. It all seems like yesterday, not far away.

 

Refr. Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free. This is where I long to be. La isla Bonita.
|Bm |F#m |Em |D |A |Em |A |Bm |Bm
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high, ring through my ears and sting my eys. Your Spanish lullaby.

 

2. I fell in love with San Pedro, warm wind carried on the sea. He called to me,
te diso te amo. I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast.

 

Refr.

 

Bridge. I want to be where the sun warms the sky. When it’s time for siesta you can watch them go by.
|Em |C |D |Em |Em |C |D |F# |Bm
Beautiful faces, no cares in the world. Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl.

 

3. Last night I dreamt of San Pedro. It all seems like yesterday, not far away.

 

Refr. (2x)
