[Verse 1]
Em Am G Am Em
I met her in Venezue-e-e-e-la
G Am Em
With a basket on her head
Em B G Am
If she loved others she didn't say
G Am G B
But I knew she'd do, to pass away
[Chorus]
Em Am G Am Em
Pass away the time in Venezuela
Em Am G Am G Am Em
(Pass away the time in Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)
[Verse 2]
Em Am G Am Em
I gave her a silken sash of blue
G Am Em
A beautiful sash of blue
Em B G Am
Because I knew that she could do
G Am G B
with all the tricks, I knew she knew
[Chorus]
Em Am G Am Em
To pass away the time in Venezuela
Em Am G Am G Am Em
(To pass away the time in Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)
[Verse 3]
Em Am G Am Em
And when the wind was out to sea
G Am Em
the wind was out to sea
Em B G Am
And she was taking leave of me
G Am G B
I said: Cheer up there'll always be
[Chorus]
Em Am G Am Em
Sailors ashore on leave in Venezuela
Em Am G Am G Am Em
(Sailors ashore on leave in Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)
[Verse 4]
Em Am G Am Em
Her lingo was strange but the thought of her beautiful smile
G Am Em
The thought of her beautiful smile
Em B G Am
Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile
G Am G B
She was my gal and she did the while
[Chorus]
Em Am G Am Em
To pass away the time in Venezuela
Em Am G Am G Am Em
(To pass away. . .the time in Venezue-e-e-e-e-e-la)
