verse 1 

G7     C9                F               Bb 
I play nights in the Spanish part of town 
Db/Eb    Ab         D7     D7M/9 
I've got music in my hands 
G7              C9     
The work is hard to find 
        F7                Bb 
But that don't get me down 
Db/Eb    Ab          D7 D7M/9 
Rosalinda understands 


G        C            G              D 
Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square 
G      C                  G             D 
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere 
G/B               C 
And though I'll never be there 
G/B          A/C# 
I know what I would see there 
G/D              B/D#           Em  Em/D 
I can always find my Cuban skies 
      C   D        G 
In Rosalinda's eyes

Post-Chorus 

G7             C9           F7            Bb 
When she smiles she gives everything to me 
Db/Eb         Ab7            D7 D7M/9 
When she's all alone she cries 
    G7     C9          F7                 Bb7 
And I'd do anything to take away her tears 
Db/Eb           Ab7          D7  D7M/9 
Because they're Rosalinda's eyes 


verse 2 

G     C               G              D 
Senorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there 
G      C                  G              D 
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere 
G/B              C 
I've got a chance to make it 
G/B             A/C# 
It's time for me to take it 
G/D               B/D#          Em   Em/D 
I'll return before the fire dies 
      C   D        G 
In Rosalinda's eyes

G7       C9        F7           Bb7 
All alone in a Puerto Rican band 
Db/Eb    Ab          D7      D7M/9 
Union wages, wedding clothes 
G        C            F             Bb7 
Hardly anyone has seen how good I am 
    Db/Eb   Ab7             D7 D7M/9 
But Rosalinda says she knows 


G        C            G              D 
Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square 
G      C                  G             D 
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere

I've got a chance to make it
