(B7)       E         A       E          A                  E      B7
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands

               E                             B7                 E           
There on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyed our hearts command.


B7  A                 F#m7   B7
So beneath God's blue hea - ven,

  B9       E         E6     E7
There's a place that I must go,

        A              F#m7   B7
See the sun set in the eve - ning  

B9       E    E6 F#m7    B7
With the on - ly love I know.


(B7)       E         A      E            A                E    B7
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands

               E                              B7                 E           
There on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyed our hearts command.)



(Instrumental interlude - 1 verse)


 E7              A            F#m7  B7
We watched the sun set in the eve - ning, 

B9        E     E6       E7
See the moon yellow and pale,

            A                F#m7  B7
Watch the gauchos ride their pin - tos 

 B9    E       E6     F#m7    B7
All across the pampas trail.


(B7)        E        A      E            A                 E   B7
Where the deep blue pearly waters wash upon white silver sands

              E        A     E                B7               E           
There on the brink of love I kissed her and obeyed our hearts command.
