The Lady in the Blue Mercedes Lyrics

Recorded by Johnny Duncan
Written by Daniel Darst and Gary Gentry

G
It was a windy day down Malibu way
D7
The California sun was shining
I was in no hurry sipping b***** Mary's
G
And I fell asleep by the ocean

Then a lovely lady in a blue Mercedes
G7 C
Parked her car down by the sea
G
She stepped into the sand and took me by the hand
D7 G
And we traveled away in my dreams

C
And we drank Pina Coladas down in Puerto Rico
G
We tangoed in Montego Bay
D7
We sipped Champaign in the summer rain
G
On a warm Caribbean day
C
I put a pretty flower in her long black hair
G
Along the sands of Waikiki
D7
And I left my heart in San Francisco
G
Where she first made love to me

Then I awoke to the sound of the tide coming in
D7
And the sun was almost gone

I didn't want to wake from my beautiful dream
G
But I had to take it on home
Then somewhere in the evening came a heavenly voice
C
Saying thank you for a wonderful day
G
Then the beautiful lady in the blue Mercedes
D7 G
Blew a kiss and drove away

Repeat #3

C
We stuffed our pockets full of pretty shells
G
While the trade winds blew all night
D7
We bought mangos and bananas in the market place
G
And made love by the fire light

Repeat #3
