[A] [D]
[B] [D]
[B]
[G] Had to get away
Couldn't stand another dreary day
people [D] with the same
expression on each face
Guess I needed to find some secret place.
[G] I
Bought a round trip cheap.
I broke my lease and gave away my heat
I flew [D] down to Tahiti where soft breezes blow
And I rented a grass-roof [A] bungalow
[Bm] There
I met an island [G] girl so [D] fair
[G] She was the [Bm] child of a dream
We both wore [D] flowers in our hair
[G] bathing [Bm] each day in the stream
Perfume around [D] us everywhere
[G] Out of the sea she came to me suddenly we were
Vis-a [Em]-vis lovers [F#m] beneath the mango [G] tree under the tradition

Living [D] in this paradise [B] without an [A] end.
[D] Yes, I needed to feel
[A] confused again, [G] I
promised to return
The tears upon her cheeks began to burn
She handed me [F#m] a note.
I [B] promised not to
[A] It [D] said love is the pain you can't refuse
[Bm] now I
left my
[D] Girl, so fair
[G] She was the [Bm] child of a dream
We both wore flowers [G] in our hair
[D] [G] bathing each [Bm] day in the stream
Perfume around us [G] everywhere
Out of the sea she came to me suddenly we were
Vis-a-vis lovers beneath the mango tree under the tradition
