Thank god the (Em) tiki bar is open,  
Thank god the tiki torch still (B7) shines,  
Thank god the (Em)Tiki Bar is (Am7) open,  
Come on (Em) in and open B7 up your (Em) mind.  
 
I was (Em) out on a leave of absence,  
From any resemblance to reali(B7)ty,  
I felt like a (Em) rocket launched to the (Am7) great blue yonder,  
From the (Em) boys down at (B7) kennedy.  
 
I was (Em) driving by his majesty's court hotel,  
Where the sign said praise his (B7) name,  
I was (Em) tired and alone i couldn't (Am7) see too well,  
But I (Em) don't think that (B7) he was to (Em) blame.  
 
Thank god the (Em) tiki bar is open,  
Thank god the tiki torch still (B7) shines,  
Thank god the (Em)Tiki Bar is (Am7) open,  
Come on (Em) in and open B7 up your (Em) mind.  
 
There's a (Em) full moon over daytona beach,  
There's a full moon in my (B7) mind,  
And my (Em) suntan dream is (Am7) still out of reach,  
And the (Em) strip malls are (E7) robbing me (Em) blind.  
 
Well his (Em) name was Mr. Dale Earnhardt,  
And he drove the black number (B7) three,  
Now the (Em) king is gone but (Am7) not be forgotten,  
Nor his (Em) like will we (B7) ever (Em) see.  
 
Thank god the (Em) tiki bar is open,  
Thank god the tiki torch still (B7) shines,  
Thank god the (Em)Tiki Bar is (Am7) open,  
Come on (Em) in and open B7 up your (Em) mind.  
 
I know a (Em) drink ain't the solution,  
I ain't had one in seventeen (B7) years,  
But if that (Em) tiki bar was (Am7) closed tonight,  
Well I (Em) might just (B7) dissap(Em)ear.  
 
Thank god the (Em) tiki bar is open,  
Thank god the tiki torch still (B7) shines,  
Thank god the (Em)Tiki Bar is (Am7) open,  
Come on (Em) in and open B7 up your (Em) mind.  
 
Thank god the (Em) tiki bar is open,  
Thank god the tiki torch still (B7) shines,  
Thank god the (Em)Tiki Bar is (Am7) open,  
Come on (Em) in and open B7 up your (Em) mind.
