VERSE 1:
I was [Ab] down in a [Db] hole, [Ab] snufflin' like a [Db] mole
When my [Ab] friend on the [Db] phone told me [Ab] it's O-[Db]-Kay [Ab][Db]

CHORUS:
If your [Ab] mind is a [Db] mess, your [Ab] body's in dis-[Db]-tress
Catch your [Ab] sorry soul a [Db] rest the Ha-[Ab]-wana [Db] way [Ab][Db]
Throw your [Ab] future to the [Db] wind, you'll [Ab] find it's no [Db] sin
Start a [Ab] new way of [Db] living the Ha-[Ab]-wana [Db] way [Ab][Db]
VERSE 2:
So I [Ab] did like she [Db] said, threw my [Ab] suitcase on the [Db] bed
Packed my [Ab] Rennies, Pepto-[Db]-Bismol, Para-[Ab]-ceta-[Db]-mol [Ab][Db]
And I'm [Ab] feelin' no [Db] pain on some [Ab] funky Russian [Db] plane
Headin' [Ab] down the Carib-[Db]-bean to for-[Ab]-get it [Db] all [Ab][Db]
PRE-CHORUS 2: [Ab] '55 [Db] Chevvies, [Ab] '65 [Db] Fords [Ab] Coffee skinned [Db] chicas on the [Ab] Malecon [Db] [Ab] Mojitos, [Db] Haba'os, [Ab] Apa-[Db]-gon [Ab] Hey coco [Db] taxi, hang on [Eb7 open]

Gimme [Ab] one more [Db] day [Ab][Db]
Babe I [Ab] gotta [Db] stay [Ab][Db]
Hear that [Ab] music [Db] play [Ab][Db]
The Ha-[Ab]-wana [Db] way [Ab][Db][Eb7 open]
