It happened in Monterey
  Am7      D7
A long time ago
  Am7       D7
I met her in Monterey
         G
In old Mexico

Stars and steel guitars
             Am7           D7
And luscious lips as red as wine
Am7               D7
Broke somebody's heart
             G
And I'm afraid that it was mine

It happened in Monterey
Am7              D7
Without thinking twice
Am7       D7
I left her and threw away
    B7         E7
The key to paradise
Am7        D7
My indiscreet heart
Am7           D7
Longs for the sweetheart
G
That I left in old Monterey
