G C (4Xｹs)

G C
On a hilltop in Tahiti, as I gaze across the bay
G D7
At the island of Morea, standing in the day
G C
And I love thee margarita, serve me cool Hinano beer
G D7
Iｹll be a fool in paradise for five full hours here

Chorus:
C G C G C G D7
Yorana canｹt you stand the heat Yorana dancing in bare feet
C G C G C G D7 G C G C
Yorana when you laugh at me Yorana I.....Iｹm in ecstacy

G C
My name is margarita, and the salt upon your lips
G D7
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss
G C
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle
G D7
Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile

Chorus:

G C
The sunshine warms the mountain and makes you golden brown
G D7
The water laps around you where I only hope to drown
G C
The coconut plantations, the sea and sky above
G D7
The South Pacific islands they are all caressing you

Chorus:

G C
The crimson dress youｹre wearing, with nothing underneath
G D7
The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet
G C
Margarita, margarita, please dance with me tonight
G D7
We will dance together where the stars are shining bright

Chorus:
G C
Margarita, margarita, I come from far away
G D7
Letｹs go take a dive in Makawiｹi Bay
G C
Margarita, margarita, we walkinｹ, in the lair
G D7
We go in the dark and we donｹt need a spear
