Venezuela

  Em         Am    G Am    Em
I met her in Venezue-e-e-e-la
      G       Am     Em
With a basket on her head
Em            B         G      Am
If she loved others she didn't say
    G            Am      G     B
But I knew she'd do, to pass away

[Chorus]
 Em   Am       G       Am   Em
Pass away the time in Venezuela
Em     Am       G  
(Pass away the time in 
     Am     G     Am   Em
Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)


[Verse 2]
   Em       Am      G    Am Em
I gave her a silken sash of blue
  G         Am      Em
A beautiful sash of blue
   Em      B         G        Am
Because I knew that she could do

      G         Am       G       B
with all the tricks, I knew she knew

[Chorus]
    Em   Am       G      Am    Em
To pass away the time in Venezuela
     Em    Am       G  
(To pass away the time in 
    Am     G     Am   Em
Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)


[Verse 3]
     Em      Am      G  Am   Em
And when the wind was out to sea
     G        Am     Em
the wind was out to sea
    Em       B       G      Am
And she was taking leave of me
G             Am           G     B
I said: Cheer up there'll always be

[Chorus]
Em         Am       G       Am    Em
Sailors ashore on leave in Venezuela
Em          Am       G  
(Sailors ashore on leave in 
     Am      G    Am   Em
Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)


[Verse 4]
    Em         Am           
Her lingo was strange but the 
   G             Am         Em
thought of her beautiful smile
      G             Am       Em
The thought of her beautiful smile
     Em            B           G 
Will haunt me and taunt me for 
      Am
many a mile
G           Am     G             B
She was my gal and she did the while

[Chorus]
    Em    Am     G       Am    Em
To pass away the time in Venezuela
    Em   Am           G    
(To pass away. . .the time in 
   Am      G    Am    Em
Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)
