Margarita
performed by: Israel Kamakawiwo`ole
G C (4Xıs)
G C
On a hilltop in Tahiti, as I gaze across the bay
G D7
At the island of Morea, standing in the day
G C
And I love thee margarita, serve me cool Hinano beer
G D7
Iıll be a fool in paradise for five full hours here
Chorus:
C G C G C G D7
Yorana canıt you stand the heat Yorana dancing in bare feet
C G C G C G D7 G C G C
Yorana when you laugh at me Yorana I.....Iım in ecstacy
G C
My name is margarita, and the salt upon your lips
G D7
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss
G C
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle
G D7
Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile
Chorus:
G C
The sunshine warms the mountain and makes you golden brown
G D7
The water laps around you where I only hope to drown
G C
The coconut plantations, the sea and sky above
G D7
The South Pacific islands they are all caressing you
Chorus:
G C
The crimson dress youıre wearing, with nothing underneath
G D7
The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet
G C
Margarita, margarita, please dance with me tonight
G D7
We will dance together where the stars are shining bright
Chorus:
G C
Margarita, margarita, I come from far away
G D7
Letıs go take a dive in Makawiıi Bay
G C
Margarita, margarita, we walkinı, in the lair
G D7
We go in the dark and we donıt need a spear
