26 Miles (santa Catalina) Tab par The Four Preps

"Twenty Six Miles" by Glen Larson & Bruce Belland


Chorus:
C         Am7      Dm7      G
Twenty-six miles across the sea 

C        Am7      Dm7       G
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me 

C        Am7    Dm7     G         C
Santa Catalina, the island of romance, 

    Am7      Dm7       G
Romance, romance, romance.

C          Am7     Dm7     G
Water all around it everywhere

C        Am7         Dm7       G 
Tropical trees and the salty air, 

C        Am7       Dm7            G        C      Dm7
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's romance. 

Verse 1:

Dm7          G            C              Am
It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away

F               G          C
Restin’ in the water serene 

Dm7           G        C        Am7
I’d work for anyone, even the Navy 

Am7          Dm7                   G
Who would float me to my island dream 

C          Am7      Dm7       G
Twenty-six miles, so near yet far 

C                     Am7          Dm7       G
I’d swim with just some water-wings and my guitar 

C                Am7               Dm7         G
I could leave the wings but I’ll need the guitar for

C           Am7       Dm7       G
Romance, romance, romance, romance

Chorus

Verse 2:

Dm7         G         C        Am
A tropical heaven out the ocean

F                G          C
Covered with trees and girls

Dm7       G        C         Am7
If I have to swim I’ll do it forever 

Am7        Dm7             G
Till I’m gazin’ on island pearls 

C         Am7          Dm7       G
Forty kilo-meters in a leaky old boat

C          Am7      Dm7     G
Any old thing that’ll stay afloat 

C        Am7       Dm7       G        C
When we arrive we’ll all promote romance 
  
Am7       Dm7        G
Romance, romance, romance
