Down In The Caribbean by Jim Reeves
Down In The Caribbean
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C
Have you ever been down to Haiti
G7
When the summer sun was sinkin' low
There's nothing but romance just everwhere you glance
C
And the native hearts are all aglow
C
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
F
They all stare like a statue out of stone
C
When they realize what's before their eyes
G7
The other girls are left all alone
[Verse]
C
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
G7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
And from miles away you can see her sway
C
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
C
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky
G7
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
C
Just to try to be like him
[Verse]
C
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
F
That makes a heart feel so sublime
C
And before too long he starts singing the song
G7 C
And then he gets in the Conga line
C
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
G7
Part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
C
It was the gold that he was seein'
[Verse]
C
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
F
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
C
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
G7 C
But you were five hundred years too soon
Down in the Caribbean...
