Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Have you ever been down to Haiti

                                D7
When the summer sun was sinking low

D7
There's nothing but romance just ever where you glance

D7                        G
And the native hearts are all a glow
[Verse 2]
G
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene

                                    C
They all stare like a statue out of stone

                             G
And when they realize what's before their eyes

          D7                  G
The other girls are left all alone
[Verse 3]
G
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing

                                            D7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm

D7
But from miles away you can see her sway

                                         G
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
[Verse 4]
G
Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky

                             D7
Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb

D7
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble

                       G
Just to try to be like him
[Verse 5]
D7
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand

                              C
That makes a heart feel so sublime

                               G
But before too long he starts singing the song

            D7                G
And then he gets in the Conga line
[Instrumental] [Verse 6]
G
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest

                 D7
Part of the Caribbean

D7
He didn't see the charms and the open arms

                            G
It was the gold that he was seeing
[Verse 7]
G
Oh but I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed

                       C
Cause we're on our honeymoon

                           G
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this

        D7                          G
But you were five-hundred years too soon
[Verse 3]
G
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing

                                            D7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm

D7
But from miles away you can see her sway

                                         G
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
[Verse 4]
G
Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky

                             D7
Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb

D7
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble

                       G
Just to try to be like him
[Verse 5] d7 He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
                              C
That makes a heart feel so sublime

                               G
But before too long he starts singing the song

            D7                G
And then he gets in the Conga line
