Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dm][C#m][Daug][C]

[Verse 1]
[B]Not too long
ago I de[Bm]cided I would go
[A]Driftin' with the tide down
[Am]where the trade winds [D]blow.
I [G]went sailin' in [A]on a southwest wind
from some [D]place I [F#m]don't re[Bm]call.
[Dm]Glad to be on solid ground,
just as the sun was goin' down,
[C#m]I stepped out to take a look [Daug]around.[C]
I had a [B]Mai Tai in my hand and I was
[Bm]lookin' at the [A]moon;
Listening to a band play [Am]some south
sea island [D]tunes.
There was [G]a warm breeze blowin' and [A]the rum
was flowin' you [D]could almost touch [Bm]the stars.
[Dm]All at once it came to me nowhere in my memory
that [C#m]I had ever felt so fine and [Daug]free.[C]
Then she [B]came from out of nowhere,
a brown- skinned girl [E]with flowers in her hair.
She [B]looked at me awhile and then
[E]she smiled a special smile.
And it [G]went right through me when she swayed up to
me. There [F#m]was something she wanted [B]to say.
She said, [Em]"I can make your dreams come true. Come and let me welcome you to para[B]dise."[C]

[Verse 2]
(instrumental) [B]She
took me by the hand. I didn't
[Bm]even know her name.
She [A]led me through the sand down
this [Am]little moonlit [D]lane
And [G]on out back was [A]a small grass
shack and as [D]we got to [Bm]the door
with [G]the palm trees thrashin' and [A]the trade winds
crashin' [D]the waves down on [Bm]the shore.
[G]She turned around and she [Gm]pulled me
[C]down [Gm]and she s[F#m]aid it just once m[B]ore.
She said, [Em]"I can make your dreams come true. Come
and let me welcome you to para[B]dise... paradis[B]e."[C]
