VerseC#mF#mC#m
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro

Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
C#mF#mC#mA young girl with eyes like the desert

It all seems like yesterday, not far away
ChorusC#mG#m
Tropical the island breeze
F#mE
All of nature, wild and free
G#mF#m
This is where I long to be
C#m
La isla bonita

And when the samba played
F#mE
The sun would set so high
G#mF#m
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
C#m
Your Spanish lullaby
