[Chorus]
CAmFGCAmFG
Twenty-six miles a-cross the sea San-ta Cat-a-lina is a-waitin' for me
CAmFGCAmFG
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
[Verse]
CAmFGCAmFG
Water all around it every-where, tropical trees and the salty air
CAmFGCFCC7
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there - romance
[Bridge 1]
DmGCAmDmGC
It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away, Restin' in the water serene
DmGCD7G
I'd work for anyone, even the Navy Who would float me to my island dream
[Verse]
CAmFG
Twenty-six miles, so near yet far
CAmFG
I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar
CAmFG
I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar for
CAmFG
romance, romance, romance, romance
[Chorus]
CAmFGCAmFG
Twenty-six miles a-cross the sea San-ta Cat-a-lina is a-waitin' for me
CAmFGCAmFG
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
[Bridge 2]
DmGCAmDmGC
A tropical heaven out in the ocean, Covered with trees and girls
DmGCD7G
If I have to swim, I'll do it forever, Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls
CAmFGCAmFG
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat. Any old thing that'll stay afloat
CAmFGCAmFG
When we ar-rive we'll all pro-mote romance, romance, romance, romance
[Chorus]
CAmFGCAmFG
Twenty-six miles a-cross the sea San-ta Cat-a-lina is a-waitin' for me
CAmFGCAmFG
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance, romance
[Outro]
CAmFGCAmFGCAmFGC
Twenty-six miles a-cross the sea San-ta Cat-a-lina is a-waitin' for me
