Sometimes when the ^Gsun goes down ^G and I'm lost in ^Csome other town,^C D D G G* my thoughts may drift away to Manzanillo Bay. And I can see a ^Gfisherman, ^G his day's catch lying ^Con the sand, ^C D D G G* underneath the palms that sway over Manzanillo Bay.

Now I'm missing your ^Csilver moon, ^C black sands and your ^Gblue lagoon, ^G C Am D* D/C* D/B* D/A* some day I would like to be back next to your shining sea. Drinking rum from a ^Cconch shell, ^C caught up in your ^Gmagic spell, ^G C C D D* some day I would like to go back down to Mexico.

I remember your ^Gfields of cane, ^G your warm breezes and ^C jungle rains, ^C D D G G* and watching the children play over Manzanillo Bay. And out in your ^Gmarket square ^G the women sing out to ^Csell their wares^C, D D G G* I've got fresh shrimp today from Manzanillo Bay.

Now I'm missing your ^Csilver moon, ^C black sands and your ^Gblue lagoon, ^G C Am D* D/C* D/B* D/A* some day I would like to be back next to your shining sea. Drinking rum from a ^Cconch shell, ^C caught up in your ^Gmagic spell, ^G C C D D* some day I would like to go back down to Mexico.

And under the ^Gspell of night ^G the bay reflecting the ^Charbor light, ^C D D G G* you can hear the guitar play over Manzanillo Bay. And if you're thinking a^Gbout romance ^G and you're willing to ^Ctake a chance, ^C D D G G* just pick any small cafe in Manzanillo Bay.

Now I'm missing your ^Csilver moon, ^C black sands and your ^Gblue lagoon, ^G C Am D* D/C* D/B* D/A* some day I would like to be back next to your shining sea. Drinking rum from a ^Cconch shell, ^C caught up in your ^Gmagic spell, ^G C C D D* some day I would like to go back down to Mexico.

Sometimes when the ^Gsun goes down ^G and I'm lost in ^C some other tow^Cn, my thoughts may ^Ddrift away ^D to Manza^Gnillo Bay, ^D to Manza^Gnillo Bay, ^D to Manza^Gnillo Bay, ^D to Manza^Gnillo Bay,^D ...
