  44 G/d        D'         G    D
  45  I like to spend some time in Mozambique
  46 G/d        D'     G  D
  47  The sunny sky is aqua blue
  48 G/d          D'      G  D
  49  And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
  50 C          G       D
  51  It's very nice to stay a week or two,
  52 C          G       D
  53  And maybe fall in love just me and you.
  54
  55 There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique
  56 And plenty time for good romance
  57 And everybody likes to stop and speak
  58 To give the special one you seek a chance
  59 Or maybe say hello with just a glance.

  63 Bm                       F#m
  64 Lying next to her by the ocean
  65 Em                            D
  66 Reaching out and touching her hand,
  67 Bm                      F#m
  68 Whispering your secret emotion
  69 G                  A
  70 Magic in a magical land.

  73 <pre class="verse">
  74 And when it's time for leaving Mozambique
  75 To say goodbye to sand and sea,
  76 You turn around to take a final peek
  77 And you see why it's so unique to be
  78 Among the lovely people living free
  79 Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.
