1. Long time ago, when I was a young boy,
      D    G                               D C
I saw that movie, "Mutiny On The Mountain"
                  D      G
starring my idol, Marlon Brando.
Am                             D
And I felt a yearning for that great adventure.

2. So many nights I woke up out of a dream.
                    D C            D
A dream of blue seas, white sands,
G                     Am
Paradise birds, butterflies, and
          D
beautiful warm hearted girls

3. But now as I grew older, the burning desire became so strong
              E    D                  E A
that I bought me a ticket to fly home
                 Bm                  E
and then I found you and we found in eternal love

right from the beginning.

4. The stars falling down from the sleepy Lagoon,
    E     A                      E D
The palms swaying under the moon,
                          E   A
We were swimming out into the calm crystal sea,
Bm               E
in that faithful night I thought to myself.

A     E  A                 E    A             E
 I´ll do everything I can, save up every dime,
    A            E D          E    D
and one day I´ll return, come back home to you,
                       Bm   E
and then I´ll stay forever, forever.
