Eb Bb/D Cm  Bb  Ab Bb      Eb G7+ Cm Bb Ab Eb/G Fm7
O -le - a - na,    via Del Norte,        O Cana-da
[VERSE I]
       Bb               Dm7          EbM7
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time

      F       D/F#     Gm  F/A
To be lost in downtown Toronto

       Bb                 Dm7
It was wintertime, ‘round dinnertime

    Db                                 Eb/G         Ab    Fm7
I’m beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn’t want to

       Bb                 Dm7
From a side street come a backbeat

 EbM7                  F            D/F#   Gm  F/A
Pulling on me like the moon pullin’ on the tide

   Bb                Dm7                Db
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba

            Eb/G  Ab   
Lighting me up  inside
[CHORUS]
             F                      BbM7        C       Dm  Eb Gm7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum

    F                   BbM7      C        Dm     Eb Gm7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember

        F                       BbM7            C      Dm  Eb Gm7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar

    F                  BbM7 C       Dm      Eb  Gm7 Fm7
And every note was the anti-dote to December
[VERSE II]
Bb                 Dm7            EbM7
My first impression, some kind of procession

             F            D/F#  Gm   F/A
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers

      Bb                 Dm7  
And a band stuck up on a flatbed truck

          Db                        Eb/G    Ab   Fm7
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences

Bb             Dm7
Exiled Mexican textile working

EbM7                 F           D/F#      Gm    F/A
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home, boys

Bb                          Dm7
Hard working law ‘biding bus riding people

Db                    Eb/G        Ab
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
[CHORUS]
             F                      BbM7        C       Dm  Eb Gm7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum

    F                   BbM7      C        Dm     Eb Gm7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember

        F                       BbM7            C      Dm  Eb Gm7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar

    F                  BbM7 C       Dm      Eb
And every note was the anti-dote to December

G                                 CM7         D        Em  F Am7
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth

   G                     CM7         D      Em  F Am7
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown

       G                 CM7          D         Em F Am7
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on

        G                 CM7       D    Em  F 
For the frozen man an invitation to live again

           G                      CM7          D       Em  F Am7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum

    G                   CM7       D        Em      F Am7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember

        G                       CM7             D      Em  F Am7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar

    G               CM7 D       Em      F  C
And every note, the antidote to December

          G                         CM7            D     Em  F Am7
They were shakin’ it loose with the juice from the mambo man

G                      CM7           D          Em  F Am7
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky, my-my
