Intro: Dm7 C 
 
verse 1: 
 
Dm7 C         Dm7   C          Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
She dashed by me in painted on jeans 
Dm7 C         Dm7     C                 Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream 
Dm7    C             Dm7          C              Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah 
Dm7 C              Dm7       C         Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
She said I was the tiger she wanted to tame 
 
 
 
          Dm7 
Caribbean Queen 
          C                Bbmaj7 
Now we're sharing the same dream 
        F/A                 Gm7  C/G  Dm/G 
And our hearts they beat as one 
F/Bb    C           Dm7  C     Dm7  C 
No more love on the run 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
Dm7 C         Dm7       C            Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
I lose my cool when she steps in the room 
Dm7 C           Dm7       C            Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
And I get so excited just from her perfume 
Dm7 C        Dm7       C            Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
Electric eyes that you can't ignore 
Dm7 C         Dm7         C            Dm7  C       Dm7  C 
And passion burns you like never before 
 
 
Pre-Verse: 
 
Bb       C 
I was in search of a good time 
Bb              C 
Just running my game 
Bb           C 
Love was the furthest 
                 Dm7  C      Dm7  C 
Furthest from my mind 
 
 
 
          Dm7 
Caribbean Queen 
          C                Bbmaj7 
Now we're sharing the same dream 
        F/A                 Gm7  C/G  Dm/G 
And our hearts they beat as one 
F/Bb    C           Dm7  C     Dm7  C 
No more love on the run
