Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

Twenty-six miles across the sea,

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me.

Santa Catalina, the island of romance,

 romance, romance, romance.

Water all around it everywhere,

Tropical trees and the salty air.

 But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there..romance.

 It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away.

Restin' in the water, serene.

 I'd work for anyone, even the Navy,

 Who would float me to my island dream.

Twenty- six miles, so near, yet far.

I'd swim with just some water-wings and my guitar.

 I could leave the wings but I'll need the guitar

 for romance, romance, romance, romance.

Chorus

A tropical heaven out in the ocean.

Covered with trees and girls.

If I have to swim, I'll do it forever,

 Till I'm gazin' on those island pearls.

Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat.

Any old thing that'll stay afloat.

 When we arrive we'll all promote

 romance, romance, romance, romance.

Chorus

Twenty-six miles across the sea.

Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me.(x2)(Fade)
