Intro:  D A E A  D A E A 
        D A E A  D A E A 
 
   E                       A 
My garden is filled with papayas and mangos 
   E                    A 
My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos 
D                        A                      E 
Taste for the good life, I can live it no other way 
      D                          A 
While out on the beach there are two empty chairs 
         D                        A 
That say more than the people who ever sit there 
     D                  A                     E 
From under my lone palm I can look out on the day 
 
 
             D  A    E           A 
       Where no bird flies by my window 
       D  A       E          A 
       No ship is tied to my tree 
       D                       A 
       Love is a wave building to a crescendo 
       E                               (Intro chords) 
       Ride if you will, ride it with me 
 
I know this girl made memories and phrases 
Who lived her whole life in both chapters and phrases 
Danced 'till the dawn, wished all her worries away 
Well she wasn't crazy, no she wasn't mad 
She just wanted the father that she never had 
From under my lone palm I think about her today 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
F#m                            A 
We sailed from the port of indecision 
F#m                               A 
Young and wild with oh so much to learn 
G              D           E                 F#m 
Days turn into years as we tried to fool our fears 
           D           E          A 
But to the port of indecision I returned 
 
My gardens are filled with papayas and mangos 
My life is a mixture of jingles and jangles 
Come Christmas winds and blow all my worries away 
 
Chorus
