All the TABs on the net for this song are
absolutely shocking. This is not perfect, but
much closer to the truth.

Capo on 3rd fret

Intro Em7 Am Am/C B7 Am B7(short)
                                                 ~Stanza 1~              Am     D
In the sunlight of your smile,
                      Em       C
In the summer of our lives,
                 Am
In the magic of love,
Am     B  C              B7    B7(short)
Storms a-bove scattered away,
                                                 ~Stanza 2~              Am    D
Lovers dreaming in the night,
             G         C
Reaching for paradise,
            Am           Em
But as the dark shadows fade,
              C   B7(short)
Love sleeps away.

~Same as stanza 1~
On an empty stretch of beach,
In the pattern of the waves,
Drawing pictures with my hand,
In the sand I see your face,

~Same as stanza 2~
Skipping pebbles on the sea,
Wishing for paradise,
Sand castles crumble bellow,
The restless tide ebb and flow,

~Chorus~ (Los Lobos version)
                  Em  Am9  B7#9
Listening to a shell,
                  Em  Am9  B7#9
Hoping for your voice,
             Em  Am/c  Am  B7 Em
Beautiful Mari - a     of  my soul
Em  Am B7    Em
       of my soul

~Chorus~ (Mambo All-Stars version)
                  Em  B7b13
Listening to a shell,
                  Em  B7b13
Hoping for your voice,
             Em  Am/c  Am  B7 Em
Beautiful Mari - a     of  my soul
Em  Am B7b13 Em
       of my soul

Flute/Trumpet Solo ~Same as stanza 1~

Bridge ~Same as intro~

~Same as stanza 1~
Do we always be apart,
Locked forever in a dream,
If  I ever love again,
Even then nothing will change,

~Same as stanza 2~
And the taste of you remains,
Clinging to paradise,
But as the distance from you grows,
All that my heart ever knows,

Chorus ~same~

Em   Am9/C B7 repeated to the end
