Marty Robbins – Girl From Spanish Town (Guitar)

F            F#      F
Past the Gulf Of Mexico is an island where

              F#                F
I lived and loved a long time ago

                   F#              F
Disappointed in love I decided to roam

 F#
Sad was the day that I sailed far away from

    F
my home

F               C
Every dream I dream takes me again

F                            Bb
To the island down in the Carribean

 F                 C                   F C
Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home

 F                    C
To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me

F                  Bb
To be filled with grief and misery

F                    C                  F
If she takes me back I will never more roam

Bb
Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives

F7
in my heart

                                  Bb
I've tried to forget her but how do I start

                                  F7
Constantly she's on my mind both night and

                                 Bb    C
I've known only sorrow since I sailed away

F                 C
Let the tide and trade winds carry me

F               Bb
To the girl I want to marry me

F                   C
I can't live alone just on mem'ries I've

F    C
known

F                 C
I'm just like a bird that dosen't sing

 F                      Bb
Like a seagull with a broken wing

 F                   C               F
Take me off of this ship let me go home

Bb
Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives

F7
in my heart

                                  Bb
I've tried to forget her but how do I start

                                  F7
Constantly she's on my mind both night and

                                 Bb    C  F
I've known only sorrow since I sailed away
