[Verse]
     G                                 C
On a hilltop in Tahiti, as I gaze across the bay
            G                      D7
At the island of Morea, standing in the day
    G                               C
And I love thee margarita, serve me cool Hinano beer
     G                                   D7
I'll be a fool in paradise for five full hours here
 
 
[Chorus]
C   G    C                   G
Yorana   can't you stand the heat
C   G      D7
Yorana     dancing in bare feet
C   G    C                 G
Yorana   when you laugh at me
C   G    D7    NC        G      C G C
Yorana   I.....I'm in ecstacy
 
 
[Verse]
    G                          C
Her name is margarita, and the salt upon your lips
        G                        D7
Tell me lemon and tequila is the flavor of your kiss
        G                            C
All the magic and the beauty and the humor of this isle
   G                               D7
Is captured like a goldfish in the sparkle of your smile
 
 
[Chorus]
C   G    C                   G
Yorana   can't you stand the heat

The sunshine warms the mountain and makes you golden brown
    G                             D7
The water laps around you where I only hope to drown
    G                        C
The coconut plantations, the sea and sky above
     G                             D7
The South Pacific islands they are all caressing you
 
 
[Chorus]
C   G    C                   G

[Verse]
       G                               C
The crimson dress you're wearing, with nothing underneath
      G                               D7
The flower there behind your ear, the grass beneath your feet
   G                         C
Margarita, margarita, please dance with me tonight
   G                             D7
We will dance together where the stars are shining bright

     G                C
Margarita, margarita, I come from far away
G                       D7
Let's go take a dive in Makawi'i Bay
     G                   C
Margarita, margarita, we walkin', in the lair
G                     D7
We go in the dark and we don't need a spear.
