Version 1[Verse 1] G Have you ever been down to Haiti D7 When the summer sun was sinking low D7 There's nothing but romance just ever where you glance G And the native hearts are all a glow [Verse 2} G But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene C They all stare like a statue out of stone G And when they realize what's before their eyes D7 G The other girls are left all alone [Verse 3] G Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing D7 When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm D7 But from miles away you can see her sway G To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms [Verse 4] G Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky D7 Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb D7 He wonders why the people go to so much trouble G Just to try to be like him [Verse 5] d7 He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand C That makes a heart feel so sublime G But before too long he starts singing the song D7 G And then he gets in the Conga line [Instrumental] [Verse 6] G Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest D7 Part of the Caribbean D7 He didn't see the charms and the open arms G It was the gold that he was seeing [Verse 7] G Oh but I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed C Cause we're on our honeymoon G I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this D7 G But you were five-hundred years too soon {Repeat] repeat 3,4 and 5] [Verse 3] G Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing D7 When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm D7 But from miles away you can see her sway G To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms [Verse 4] G Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky D7 Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb D7 He wonders why the people go to so much trouble G Just to try to be like him [Verse 5] d7 He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand C That makes a heart feel so sublime G But before too long he starts singing the song D7 G And then he gets in the Conga line
