[Intro]
 
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin'
 
If you're not drinkin', then you're not playin'
    D
But you've got the music
                         C             ( D )
You've got the music in you, don't you?
 
Em
Down on the West Coast, I get this feeling like
 
It all could happen, that's why I'm leaving
 D
You for the moment
                        C
You for the moment, Boy Blue, yeah you
 
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
 
               Em
You're fallin' hard, I push away, I'm feelin' hot to the touch
               D
You say you'll miss me and I wanna say I'll miss you so much
              C                         D
But something keeps me real quiet, I'm alive, I'm a lush
      Em        D          C
Your love, your love, your love
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am               C
I can see my baby swingin'
Em                     D                      Am
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
          D
On the balcony and I'm singing
Em          D        C     Am
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
Am               C
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
Em              D                     Am
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
           D
On the balcony and I'm saying
Em            D         C     Am
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
Em
I'm in love...
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
Down on the West Coast, they got their icons
 
Their silver starlets, their Queens of Saigons
     D
And you've got the music
                         C             ( D )
You've got the music in you, don't you?
Em
Down on the West Coast, they love their movies
 
Their golden gods and rock 'n' roll groupies
     D
And you've got the music
                         C
You've got the music in you, don't you?
 
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
 
            Em
You push it hard, I pull away, I'm feeling hotter than fire
             D
I guess that no one ever really made me feel that much higher
     C                     D
Te deseo cariño, boy, it's you I desire
      Em        D          C
Your love, your love, your love
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am               C
I can see my baby swingin'
Em                     D                      Am
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
          D
On the balcony and I'm singing
Em          D        C     Am
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
Am               C
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
Em              D                     Am
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
           D
On the balcony and I'm saying
Em            D         C     Am
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
 
Am               C
I can see my baby swingin'
Em                     D                      Am
His Parliament's on fire and his hands are up
          D
On the balcony and I'm singing
Em          D        C     Am
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
Am               C
I can see my sweet boy swayin'
Em              D                     Am
He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love
           D
On the balcony and I'm saying
Em            D         C     Am
Move baby, move baby, I'm in love
Em
I'm in love, I'm in love

I think the line in the chorus when she says "Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love" is actually Em, F#m, G, C.

jezmopozo
Isn't it "Te deseo cariño" not "They all say "oh cariño""?
