Verse 1:
F                    Bb                        F
It's you and me on a beach/ In nineteen-ninety eight

                 Bb               Dm          Bb       F
Leaning into the breeze/ From the willows and rivermen grace

    Am             Bb         F                        C
Are reborn in this place/ I'm assured the procedure is painless

F                   Bb                         F
The taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass

                       Bb           Dm   Bb             F
Keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when

         Am        Bb              F                     C
You were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress
Chorus 1:
          Am                    Bb 
Give us a room, with a mountain view:

       F             C      F           C         Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,

                    C       F          Bb
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast

      C              F
And a dip in the ocean.
(Repeat Intro) Verse 2:
F                 Bb                      F
The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame

                      Bb              Dm   
Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and 

Bb        F          Am        Bb           F
Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken

                C
promenade or a mambo

F                   Bb                  F
And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay

                     Bb          Dm
Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple

    Bb         F          Am        Bb
And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool

       F                  C
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto
Chorus 2:
          Am                    Bb 
Give us a room, with a mountain view:

       F               C    F           C         Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,

                    C       F          Bb
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast

      C              F
And a dip in the ocean.
(Repeat intro) Bridge:
Am                Bb
Get a load of the light in the trees and the

F       C          F        C
Sweet decay on the maritime breeze

Dm                  C   Bb
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon 

         C
And the heat of the tarmac

G         C         F
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon
(Solo- variation on the intro/verse) Chorus 3:
          Am                    Bb
Give us a room, with a mountain view:

       F            C       F           C         Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,

                    C       F          Bb
Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler

          C          F   C     Bb
With some maps and a big brown towel

                   Am         Dm
It's a beater, but today will do

      Bb                       C              F
For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean.
