verse 1 :
F A# F
it’s you and me on a beach/ in nineteen – ninety eight
A# Dm A# F
leaning into the breeze/ from the willows and rivermen grace
Am A# F C
are reborn in this place/ i’m assured the procedure is painless
F A# F
the taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass
A# Dm A# F
keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when
Am A# F C
you were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress
chorus 1 :
Am A#
give us a room , with a mountain view :
F C F C A#
a tiny cabana by the water , yeah by the water and i ,
C F A#
got a rental for an hour or two , for a ride up the coast
C F
and a dip in the ocean .
( repeat intro )
verse 2 :
F A# F
the waterfront is alight/ with citronella flame
A# Dm
tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and
A# F Am A# F
gathering now on the heel – worn planks for a drunken
C
form another , a mumble ( ? )
F A# F
and lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay
A# Dm
peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple
A# F Am A#
and playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool
F C
with a caribbean kiss amaretto
chorus 2 :
Am A#
give us a room , with a mountain view :
F C F C A#
a tiny cabana by the water , yeah by the water and i ,
C F A#
got a rental for an hour or two , for a ride up the coast
C F
and a dip in the ocean .
( repeat intro )
bridge :
Am A#
get a load of the light in the trees and the
F C F C
sweet decay on the maritime breeze
Dm C A#
the sun’s hitching on a weather balloon
C
and the heat of the tarmac
G C F
burning a hole in a gold afternoon
( solo – variation on the intro/verse )
chorus 3 :
Am A#
give us a room , with a mountain view :
F C F C A#
a tiny cabana by the water , yeah by the water and i ,
C F A#
got a rental for an hour or two , and a bottle and cooler
C F C A#
with some maps and a big brown towel
Am Dm
it’s a beater , but today will do
A# C F
for a ride up the coast , and a dip in the ocean .
outro :
F A# F A#
( ( repeat intro riff ) in the ocean ( x2 ) )
F A# Dm A#
( ( repeat intro riff ) in the ocean ( x2 ) )
end : fade out .
cheers , and buy sky full of holes!
