CAPO III
C G/B Am G F G C E7+ Am G F C/E Dm7
O -le -a - na, via Del Norte, O Canada
G Bm7 CM7
It was snowtime, it was showtime, it was no time
D B/D# Em D/F#
To be lost in downtown Toronto
G Bm7
It was wintertime, 'round dinnertime
Bb C/E F Dm7
I'm beginning to see that the sunshine just doesn't want to
G Bm7
From a side street come a backbeat
CM7 D B/D# Em D/F#
Pulling on me like the moon pullin' on the tide
G Bm7 Bb
Ay caramba, one-note samba, la la la la bamba
C/E F
Lighting me up inside
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
They had the heat of the sun in the beat of the talking drum
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
D GM7 A Bm C Em7 Dm7
And every note was the antidote to December
G Bm7 CM7
My first impression, some kind of procession
D B/D# Em D/F#
Pulling on a long line of fancy dancers
G Bm7
And a band stuck up on a flatbed truck
Bb C/E F Dm7
They were raising a ruckus swinging for the fences
G Bm7
Exiled Mexican textile working
CM7 D B/D# Em D/F#
Punching two clocks, sending two paychecks home, boys
G Bm7
Hard working law 'biding bus riding people
Bb C/E F
Celebration on wheels destination unknown
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
D GM7 A Bm C Em7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
D GM7 A Bm C
Yes, and every note was the antidote to December
C G/B Am G
Ri-o Grande
F G C E7+
O-le-a-na
Am G F C/E
Vi-a Del Norte
Dm7 G A
Oh Canada
A C#m D E7 C#/E# F#m E/G#
A C#m C D/F# G D/E
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
There was a lifeline south in the song coming from her mouth
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
It swallowed me up and I followed it on downtown
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
In the light of dawn the message that life goes on
A DM7 E F#m G
For the frozen man an invitation to live again
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
It was the heat of the sun in the beat of that talking drum
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
The light of a tropical moon on a night to remember
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
Someone summoned up summer just strumming on an old guitar
A DM7 E F#m G
And every note, the antidote to December
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
They were shakin' it loose with the juice from the mambo man
A DM7 E F#m G Bm7
Long lanky Yankee boy, Buckwheat and Spanky, my-my
