B
I've got this Caribbean queen
Rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen
You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind
I've got a beautiful ocean view
Ten thousand miles from you
So Why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind
F#m
Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water
E B
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
F#m
If I keep tellin' myself
E B
I'm havin' the time of my life
F#m E
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
D7 B
Welcome to a fool's paradise
Well I keep on tellin' me
There's other fish in the sea
But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong
There's a party 'bout every night
And I should be out doin' it up right
Instead of watchin' re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long)
(Chorus)
Oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise
E B
This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane
C#m
Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit
F#m
me like a hurricane
F#m
Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water
E B
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
F#m
If I keep tellin' myself
E B
I'm havin' the time of my life
F#m E
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
D7 B
Welcome to a fool's paradise
(Play "B" alternating root notes; B & F#)
Also there is no D7 in the chorus, I just throw it in for grins.
