[E] [C] [E]
[Em] [Am] Yes, it's number one, it's Top of the Box.
[G] [Eb]
I've been all [Gm] around this great big [Cm] world to Paris [Gm] and to Rome,
[Eb] And I never found a place that [Ab] I could really [Bb] call my own.
[Cm] But there's one place where I know the [Gm] sun is shining endlessly,
[Bb] And it's calling me across the [Gm] sea, so I must get back to San [Eb]
Bernardino.
I remember [Gm] when I was sixteen, [Cm] my daddy said to me,
[Eb] You can travel [Gm] around this universe [Ab] until [Bb] eternity,
[Cm] But you'll never find that peace of [Gm] mind that you've been dreaming of,
[Bb] Not until you [C] finally [Bb] decide to come on home to San [Eb] Bernardino.
Oh, I'm [Bb] longing for San [Eb] Bernardino.
[Cm]
Oh, I'm [Gm] longing for San [Bb] Bernardino.
[Gm]
[Bb] [Eb] I've been all [Gm] along the water [Cm] right up to the [Gm] Rio Grande,
[Eb] And I never found that paradise [Ab] they call the [Bb] Promised Land.
I [Cm] was young and foolishly, I thought [Gm] the world was at my feet,
[Bbm] But I'm no different now, and so [Gm] I'm homeward bound [Bb] for San [Eb]
Bernardino.
Well, I'm older and [Gm] I'm wiser, and [Cm] I see the [Gm] light of day,
But [Eb] I think it's time [Gm] to realize [Ab] my dreams have gone [Bb] astray,
But [Cm] I tried so hard to reach that star [Gm] that was so far away,
[Bb] So now I've got [D] to find that road [Gm] that's leading home to San [Eb] Bernardino.
Oh, I'm [Bb] longing for San [Eb] Bernardino.
[Cm]
Oh, I'm [Gm] longing for San [Bb] Bernardino.
