(Adlib first 4 measures)
Verse 1
When I was a boy of twenty-two
I stood before a statue
Was it you?
They shake the fruit when they dance
You should try some when you have the chance
Her face had no power to deceive
She wore her beauty shamelessly
Like Eve
Guavas can be bittersweet
But the mangos always good to eat
Bridge
Love has complicated my past
God knows I left no stone un - turned
Now I realize that at last
Ive found her a - gain
Chorus
She under - stands how the blue water behaves
(how the blue water behaves)
Mother-of-Pearl is the woman in the waves
(shes the woman in the waves)
My eyes have traveled her beauty for always
(traveled her beauty always)
Gold of the Sun is the woman in the waves
(shes the woman in the waves)
Verse 2
I know that my life has led me here
To where the dolphin jumps
At the skys clear
Here we live with - out locked doors
Share and share alike whats mine is yours
I see invitation in your smile
To celebrate our passions
Without guile
In the noa noa night
Nave Naves a fa - miliar sight
Bridge
Love has complicated my past
God knows I left no stone un - turned
Now I realize that at last
Ive found her a - gain
Chorus
She under - stands how the blue water behaves
(how the blue water behaves)
Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves
(shes the woman in the waves)
My eyes have traveled her beauty for always
(traveled her beauty always)
Gold of the Sun is the woman in the waves
(shes the woman in the waves)
Bridge
I am a - ware of her fragrance
Even when she disa ppears
Outro chorus
She under - stands how the blue water behaves
(how the blue water behaves)
Mother-of-Pearl is the woman in the waves
(shes the woman in the waves)
My eyes have traveled her beauty for always
(traveled her beauty always)
Gold of the Sun is the woman in the waves
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh in the waves)

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
