Verse 1:
F Bb F
It's you and me on a beach/ In nineteen-ninety eight
Bb Dm Bb F
Leaning into the breeze/ From the willows and rivermen grace
Am Bb F C
Are reborn in this place/ I'm assured the procedure is painless
F Bb F
The taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass
Bb Dm Bb F
Keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when
Am Bb F C
You were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress
Chorus 1:
Am Bb
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
F C F C Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
C F Bb
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 Bb F
The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame
Bb Dm
Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and
Bb F Am Bb F
Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken
C
Form another, a mumble (?)
F Bb F
And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay
Bb Dm
Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple
Bb F Am Bb
And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool
F C
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto
Chorus 2:
Am Bb
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
F C F C Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
C F Bb
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 Bb
Get a load of the light in the trees and the
F C F C
Sweet decay on the maritime breeze
Dm C Bb
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 Bb
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
F C F C Bb
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
C F Bb
Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler
C F C Bb
With some maps and a big brown towel
Am Dm
It's a beater, but today will do
Bb C F
For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean.
Outro:
F Bb F Bb
((repeat intro riff) In the ocean (x2))
F Bb Dm Bb
((repeat intro riff) In the ocean (x2))
End: Fade out.
