Sometimes when the sun goes down   and I'm lost in some other town,
                D          D         G             G*
my thoughts may drift away   to Manzanillo Bay.
                G          G                       C               C
And I can see a fisherman,   his day's catch lying on the sand,
               D               D           G             G*
underneath the palms that sway   over Manzanillo Bay.

[Chorus]
                     C            C                      G            G
Now I'm missing your silver moon,   black sands and your blue lagoon,
                 C          Am                  D*   D/C*    D/B*     D/A*
some day I would like to be   back next to your shining sea.
                    C            C                   G            G
Drinking rum from a conch shell,   caught up in your magic spell,
                 C          C                   D      D*
some day I would like to go   back down to Mexico.

[Verse 2]
                G               G                       C               C
I remember your fields of cane,   your warm breezes and   jungle rains,
                 D             D           G             G*
and watching the children play   over Manzanillo Bay.
                G             G                       C               C
And out in your market square   the women sing out to sell their wares,
               D            D           G             G*
I've got fresh shrimp today   from Manzanillo Bay.

[Chorus]
                     C            C                      G            G
Now I'm missing your silver moon,   black sands and your blue lagoon,
                 C          Am                  D*   D/C*    D/B*     D/A*
some day I would like to be   back next to your shining sea.
                    C            C                   G            G
Drinking rum from a conch shell,   caught up in your magic spell,
                 C          C                   D      D*
some day I would like to go   back down to Mexico.

And under the spell of night   the bay reflecting the harbor light,
                 D           D           G             G*
you can hear the guitar play   over Manzanillo Bay.
                        G            G                       C               C
And if you're thinking about romance   and you're willing to take a chance,
              D          D           G             G*
just pick any small cafe   in Manzanillo Bay.

[Chorus]
                     C            C                      G            G
Now I'm missing your silver moon,   black sands and your blue lagoon,
                 C          Am                  D*   D/C*    D/B*     D/A*
some day I would like to be   back next to your shining sea.
                    C            C                   G            G
Drinking rum from a conch shell,   caught up in your magic spell,
                 C          C                   D      D*
some day I would like to go   back down to Mexico.

Sometimes when the sun goes down   and I'm lost in   some other town,
                D          D         G           D
my thoughts may drift away   to Manzanillo Bay,
        G          D         G          D         G         D
to Manzanillo Bay,   to Manzanillo Bay,   to Manzanillo Bay, ...
