# Intro : Am Am G G Am Am G G

Am Am G G Am Am
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
F F C C G G
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
Am Am G G Am Am
A A young girl with eyes like the desert
F F C C G G
It all seems like yesterday, not far away

# Refrain :
Am Am Em Em
Tropical the island breeze
Dm Dm C C
All of nature wild and free
G G Dm Dm
This is where I long to be
Em Em Am Am
La isla bonita
Am Am Em Em
And when the samba played
Dm Dm C C
The sun would set so high
G G Dm Dm
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Em Em Am Am
Your Spanish lullaby

Am Am G G Am Am
I fell in love with San Pedro
F F C C G G
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Am Am G G Am Am
Te dijo te amo
F F C C G G
I prayed that the days would last. They went so fast

# REFRAIN

Dm Dm Am Am C C G G
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
Dm Dm Am Am C C G G
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Dm Dm Am Am C C G G
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Dm Dm Am Am C C E E Am Am
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

# I got these chords from Ukulele-blog.com and they work okay for me. You can change the order of the chords a bit in the refrain, but I think the chords are good.

About this song: La Isla Bonita

"La Isla Bonita" (English: The Beautiful Island) is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released as the fifth and final single from her third studio album, True Blue, on February 25, 1987 by Sire Records. "La Isla Bonita" is noted for being the first Madonna song to have a Spanish influence in it with arrangements of Cuban drums and Spanish guitar, maracas, harmonicas and a mix of synthesized and real drumming. The lyrics of the song tell about a beautiful island and was a tribute to the beauty of the Latin people, according to Madonna.
