Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro (short)

  ~Stanza 1~

In the sunlight of your smile,

 In the summer of our lives,

 In the magic of love,

Storms a-bove scattered away,

  ~Stanza 2~

Lovers dreaming in the night,

 Reaching for paradise,

 But as the dark shadows fade,

 Love sleeps away.

~Same as stanza 1~

On an empty stretch of beach,

In the pattern of the waves,

Drawing pictures with my hand,

In the sand I see your face,

~Same as stanza 2~

Skipping pebbles on the sea,

Wishing for paradise,

Sand castles crumble bellow,

The restless tide ebb and flow,

~Chorus~ (Los Lobos version)

 Listening to a shell, [B7#9]

 Hoping for your voice, [B7#9]

 Beautiful Mari - a of my soul

of my soul

~Chorus~ (Mambo All-Stars version)

 Listening to a shell,

 Hoping for your voice,

 Beautiful Mari - a of my soul

of my soul

Flute/Trumpet Solo ~Same as stanza 1~

Bridge ~Same as intro~

~Same as stanza 1~

Do we always be apart,

Locked forever in a dream,

If I ever love again,

Even then nothing will change,

~Same as stanza 2~

And the taste of you remains,

Clinging to paradise,

But as the distance from you grows,

All that my heart ever knows,

Chorus ~same~

/ repeated to the end
