Twenty Six Miles by Glen Larson Bruce Belland
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
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
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's romance
Verse 1:
Dm7 G C Am
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
Am7 Dm7 G
Who would float me to my island dream
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 for
C Am7 Dm7 G
Romance romance romance romance
Chorus
Verse 2:
Dm7 G C Am
A tropical heaven out the ocean
F G C
Covered with trees and girls
Dm7 G C Am7
If I have to swim I’ll do it forever
Am7 Dm7 G
Till I’m gazin’ on island pearls
C Am7 Dm7 G
Forty kilo-meters in a leaky old boat
C Am7 Dm7 G
Any old thing that’ll stay afloat
C Am7 Dm7 G C
When we arrive we’ll all promote romance
Am7 Dm7 G
Romance romance romance
