Intro:
D       Bm       G       D

Verse 1:
D                        Bm
  Guess I think I feel alright
                              G
You come circling through the light
                            D
The skyline, baby, is bright tonight
D                          Bm
 What more perfect rendezvous?
                                 A                             G (riff)
The sundown paints the shadows through the daylight, Amy, on what we do


Chorus 1:
A              D       (C#)   Bm
 It looks like darkness to me
          G          D    G    D
Drifting down into Miami,    Miami


Verse 2:
D                             Bm
 Can I say, "I wish that this weather would never leave"?
                 G                              D
It just gets hard to believe that god sent this angel to watch over me 
         D                          Bm
Cause my angel she don't receive my calls 
                                       A
Says I'm too dumb to fuck, too dumb to fight, too dumb to save
                            G
Well, maybe I don't need no angel at all 


Chorus 2:
A              D       (C#)    Bm
 It looks like darkness to me, oh
           G         D
Drifting down into Miami
A                    D          (C#)     Bm
 She could pull the sunlight through me, oh
        G          D    G    D
Coming down into Miami,    Miami


Solo chords: (key of D)

D       Bm       A       G


D                     Bm
 Make a circle in the sand
                      G
Make a halo with your hand
                        D
I'll make a place for you to land
D                                 Bm
 The bus is runnin', it's time to leave
                                A
This summer's gone and so are we
                         G                     D
So come on baby, let's go shut it down in New Orleans.
        Bm           A
Come on baby, lets go shut it down
       G
In New Orleans
         D             Bm
Come on Baby, come on baby
       A                      G
lets go shut it down, in New Orleans.
