G7     C9              F              A#
I play nights in the Spanish part of town
C#/D#     G#         D7
I've got music in my hands
G7           C9
The work is hard to find
     F7                A#
But that don't get me down
C#/D#    G#      D7
Rosalinda understands

Chorus:
G        C           G            D
Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square
G       C            G                D
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere
G/B              C
And though I'll never be there
G/B         A/C#
I know what I would see there
G/D           B/D#           Em Em/D
I can always find my Cuban skies
       C   D    G
In Rosalinda's eyes

When she smiles she gives everything to me
And when she's all alone, she cries
I'd do anything to take away her tears
Because they're Rosalinda's eyes

Chorus:
Señorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there
Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere
And I've got a chance to make it
It's time for me to take it
I'll return before the fire dies
In Rosalinda's eyes

All alone in a Puerto Rican band
Union wages, wedding clothes
Hardly anyone has seen how good I am
But Rosalinda says she knows

Chorus:
Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square
Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere
And though I'll never be there
I know what I would see there
I can always find my Cuban skies
In Rosalinda's eyes

Okay

Chorus:
Señorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there
Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere
I've got a chance to make it
It's time for me to take it
And I'll return before the fire dies
In Rosalinda's eyes
