A E
I met this girl at a wedding down in Mexico
A E
Her long black curls they would follow her wherever she'd go
Dbm B E F#
Oh I taught her how to samba I only wish I would have thought of
A
That when you're dancing by the ocean you can fabricate emotion
B
And it's hard to differentiate
Chorus:
E
Is it the rhythm or the sand Senorita understand
A E A B
They'll take hold of you They'll take hold of you
E
The evening sea will pull you in hypnotize and leave you when
A E A B
You go home again When you go home again
Verse:
A E
The letters fly and I feel bad for how long I have delayed
A E
But I just can't reply 'cause I'd be typing until the month of may
Dbm C
It's like a scratch on a CD that keeps repeating
E F#
and now the song is losing meaning
A
So if you want to find the one for you go on and skip a track or two
B
and cast aside this old debate
Verse:
E
Is it the rhythm or the sand Senorita understand
A E A B
They'll take hold of you They'll take hold of you
E
The evening sea will pull you in hypnotize and leave you when
A E A B
You go home again When you go home again
E F# A
Ohhh para para
A E
I met this girl and now it seems it was forever ago
A C
We found ourselves in a dream but we left it down in Mexico-oh-oh oh
Verse:
E
Is it the rhythm or the sand Senorita understand
A E A B
They'll take hold of you They'll take hold of you
E
The evening sea will pull you in hypnotize and leave you when
A E A B
You go home again When you go home again
