Sing A Tropical Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D](Fi[Cm]eld s[Adim]
[D]& McHugh, Frank Loesser)
On [Em]beautiful tropical

[Verse 2]
[Gm]Trinidad Isle
[C]Where Carib[Em]bean [F]breezes
[Em]play[Edim][Gm]
[Em]The quaint little natives will [Gm]greet you
And [C]smile [D]as they welcome [Em]you
[A]This way[D]
[A]As [D]they welcome you[Em]
[D]This way

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Em][D][G][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
Upon the [G]isle I'm [D]from which we come
We [G]have a [Gm]national char[D]acteristic
Which is very [Gm]strong[D]
Because we put the [G]accent
upon a [C]wrong [D]syllable
And we [G]sing [Em]a[D]
tropical [G]song[Em][D]
Upon the [G]isle I'm from
[D]which we come
The [G]point of [Gm]interest beside
the [D]coconuts[Gm][D]
Is that we [G]put the accent
upon the wrong [D]syllable
And we [G]sing [Em]a tr[D]opical song
[G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]We c[Gm]ould show the natura[A]l
[D]wonders of the scenery
To you
We [Gm]could show the native [Bb]birds[D]
& perhaps give two or [Gm]three
To [D]you[G]
[Gm]And describe the climate &[A] also
[D]tell the eleva[Bb]tion[D]
We [Gm]could very hast[D]ily introduce
the [Gm]population[Eb]
We could [Ab]show you the hotel
& the need of [Fm]places[Ab]
We could take you to the [Fm]bar & visitors
may [Ab]fall upon their [Eb]faces[Ab]
If only we had a track we could
probably take you to the [Fm]races
[Ab]But we prefer to accqu[Bb]aint you with[F]
the [G]following interest[D]ing fact

[Verse 5]
That on the [G]isle I'm on
from [D]which we come
[G]We have a natio[Gm]n
[D]al characteristic
Which is very [Gm]strong[D]
And if [G]you should remain here
You will discover [D]one peculiar [G]thing[Em]
[D]Be fore very [G]long[D]
That [G]you have put the accent
upon the [C]wrong [D]syllable
And [G]you sing [Em]a tro[C]pi[D]cal song[G][C]
[D]And so we say [G]wel[F] co[Eb]me[F]
To you
