Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
It's you and me on a beach/ In nineteen-ninety eight
Leaning into the breeze/ From the willows and rivermen grace
Are reborn in this place/ I'm assured the procedure is painless
The taxicab with no brakes/ around the mountain pass
Keep your head in your hands/ if anybody askes what you mean when
You were picking a fight/ you were only complimenting the waitress
Chorus 1
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast
And a dip in the ocean.
(Repeat Intro)
Verse 2
The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame
Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and
Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken
Form another, a mumble (?)
And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay
Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple
And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto
Chorus 2
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast
And a dip in the ocean.
(Repeat intro)
Bridge
Get a load of the light in the trees and the
Sweet decay on the maritime breeze
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon
And the heat of the tarmac
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon
(Solo- variation on the intro/verse)
Chorus 3
Give us a room, with a mountain view:
A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I,
Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler
With some maps and a big brown towel
It's a beater, but today will do
For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean.
