Jim Reeves – Down In The Caribbean (Guitar)

 C
Have you ever been down to Haiti

                              G7
When the summer sun was sinkin' low

                               C
And the native hearts are all aglow

C
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene

                                   F
They all stare like a statue out of stone

                            C
When they realize what's before their eyes

         G7
The other girls are left all alone

 C
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'

                                            G7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm

                                         C
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms

 C
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky

                              G7
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb

                      C
Just to try to be like him

C
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand

                              F
That makes a heart feel so sublime

                             C
And before too long he starts singing the song

           G7                 C
And then he gets in the Conga line

 C
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest

                  G7
Part of the Caribbean

                             C
It was the gold that he was seein'

C
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed

                           F
'Cause we're on our honeymoon

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

             G7                      C
But you were five hundred years too soon
