Capo 1st fret
CHORUS:
C Am7 Dm7 G
Twenty-six miles across the sea,
C Am7 Dm7 G
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me.
C Am7 Dm7 G C
Santa Catalina, the island of romance,
Am7 Dm7 G
romance, romance, romance.
#1.
C Am7 Dm7 G
Water all around it everywhere,
C Am7 Dm7 G
Tropical trees and the salty air.
C Am7 Dm7 G C Dm7 C C7
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there..romance.
#2.
Dm7 G C Am C
It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away.
F G C
Restin' in the water, serene.
Dm7 G C Am7
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy,
D Dm7 G
Who would float me to my island dream.
#3.
C Am7 Dm7 G
Twenty- six miles, so near, yet far.
C Am7 Dm7 G
I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar.
C Am7 Dm7 G
I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar
C Am7 Dm7 G
for romance, romance, romance, romance.
CHORUS:
#4.
Dm7 G C Am
A tropical heaven out in the ocean.
F G C
Covered with trees and girls.
Dm7 G C Am7
If I have to swim, I'll do it forever,
D Dm7 G
Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls.
#5.
C Am7 Dm7 G
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat.
C Am7 Dm7 G
Any old thing that'll stay afloat.
C Am7 Dm7 G
When we arrive we'll all promote
C Am7 Dm7 G
romance, romance, romance, romance.
