CAPO 2  
Thank god the TEmiki bar is open, 
Thank god the Tiki torch still sB7hines,
Thank god the TEmiki Bar is  Am7open,
Come on Emin and open uB7p your Emmind.
I was Emout on a leave of absence,
From any resemblance to realB7ity,
I felt like a rEmocket launched to the grAm7eat blue yonder,
From the bEmoys down at KB7ennedy. 
I was dEmriving by his majesty's court hotel,
Where the sign said praise his nB7ame,
I was tEmired and alone i couldn't sAm7ee too well,
But I dEmon't think that hB7e was to bEmlame.
Thank god the TEmiki bar is open, 
Thank god the Tiki torch still sB7hines,
Thank god the TEmiki Bar is  Am7open,
Come on Emin and open uB7p your Emmind. 
There's a fEmull moon over Daytona beach,
There's a full moon in my mB7ind,
And my sEmuntan dream is sAm7till out of reach,
And the sEmtrip malls are rB7obbing me Emblind. 
Well his nEmame was Mr. Dale Earnhardt,
And he drove the black number tB7hree,
Now the kEming is gone but nAm7ot be forgotten,
Nor his lEmike will we eB7ver sEmee.  
Thank god the TEmiki bar is open, 
Thank god the Tiki torch still sB7hines,
Thank god the TEmiki Bar is  Am7open,
Come on Emin and open uB7p your Emmind. 
I know a dEmrink ain't the solution,
I ain't had one in seventeen yB7ears,
But if that Emtiki bar was cAm7losed tonight,
Well I mEmight just B7dissapeEmar.  
Thank god the TEmiki bar is open, 
Thank god the Tiki torch still sB7hines,
Thank god the TEmiki Bar is  Am7open,
Come on Emin and open uB7p your Emmind.  
Thank god the TEmiki bar is open, 
Thank god the Tiki torch still sB7hines,
Thank god the TEmiki Bar is  Am7open,
Come on Emin and open uB7p your Emmind.

CAPO 2

Thank god the Tiki bar is open,

Thank god the Tiki torch still shines,

Em Am7

Thank god the Tiki Bar is open,

Em B7 Em

Come on in and open up your mind.

I was out on a leave of absence,

From any resemblance to reality,

Em Am7

I felt like a rocket launched to the great blue yonder,

Em B7

From the boys down at Kennedy.

I was driving by his majesty's court hotel,

Where the sign said praise his name,

Em Am7

I was tired and alone i couldn't see too well,

Em B7 Em

But I don't think that he was to blame.

Thank god the Tiki bar is open,

Thank god the Tiki torch still shines,

Em Am7

Thank god the Tiki Bar is open,

Em B7 Em

Come on in and open up your mind.

There's a full moon over Daytona beach,

There's a full moon in my mind,

Em Am7

And my suntan dream is still out of reach,

Em B7 Em

And the strip malls are robbing me blind.

Well his name was Mr. Dale Earnhardt,

And he drove the black number three,

Em Am7

Now the king is gone but not be forgotten,

Em B7 Em

Nor his like will we ever see.

Thank god the Tiki bar is open,

Thank god the Tiki torch still shines,

Em Am7

Thank god the Tiki Bar is open,

Em B7 Em

Come on in and open up your mind.

I know a drink ain't the solution,

I ain't had one in seventeen years,

Em Am7

But if that tiki bar was closed tonight,

Em B7 Em

Well I might just dissapear.

Thank god the Tiki bar is open,

Thank god the Tiki torch still shines,

Em Am7

Thank god the Tiki Bar is open,

Em B7 Em

Come on in and open up your mind.

Thank god the Tiki bar is open,

Thank god the Tiki torch still shines,

Em Am7

Thank god the Tiki Bar is open,

Em B7 Em

Come on in and open up your mind.
