San Miguel by The Beach Boys
(Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobson)
Sounds best to me when using barre chords for everything except the D chord.
StBbarted off the day with a thought
That took me fFar away
I thBbink I found a place
Where I know I can be forFever
It's down in SDan Miguel
Could be in MeGxico
Where you dCon't need no dough
                  F-F#-G  
I know I'm gonna go
(Lookin' for the ladies of love)
I Bbgo where I'm going
Goin' straight ahead
Down in to SFan Miguel
OBbver the top 
We cross the border now
Headin' in to SFan Miguel
That's where I'm goDnna go 
Hope that you'll be coGmin' too
You can kCick off your shoes
                      F-F#-G  
Come on it's time to go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
(Play verse chords over the Ow Ow's and yi yi yi's) 
Ow ow
Yiyiyiyiyiyi
It's down in SDan Miguel
Could be in MeGxico
Where you doCn't need no dough
                  F-F#-G  
I know I'm gonna go
Lookin' for the ladies of love
Bb (through fade-out)
La la la la
La la la la

San Miguel by The Beach Boys

(Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobson)

Sounds best to me when using barre chords for everything except the D chord.

Started off the day with a thought

That took me far away

I think I found a place

Where I know I can be forever

It's down in San Miguel

Could be in Mexico

Where you don't need no dough

F F# G

I know I'm gonna go

(Lookin' for the ladies of love)

I go where I'm going

Goin' straight ahead

Down in to San Miguel

Over the top

We cross the border now

Headin' in to San Miguel

That's where I'm gonna go

Hope that you'll be comin' too

You can kick off your shoes

F F# G

Come on it's time to go

Lookin' for the ladies of love

(Play verse chords over the Ow Ow's and yi yi yi's)

Ow ow

Yiyiyiyiyiyi

It's down in San Miguel

Could be in Mexico

Where you don't need no dough

F F# G

I know I'm gonna go

Lookin' for the ladies of love

Bb (through fade-out)

La la la la
