  One of the greatest kiwi songs ever. I'm transcribing this from memory. I have my
guitar with me but I haven't listened to the song in a while. I'm not 100% about the
chord changes in the chorus but other than that I'm confident that this is right.

Chords used:
    Asus4  A    D   C#m   D   Bm  Gmaj7  
e|-------------------4----3----2----2----|
B|----3----2----7----5----2----3----0----|
G|----2----2----7----6----3----4----0----|
D|----2----2----7----6----0----4----0----|
A|-------------------4---------2---------|
E|---------------------------------------|

Intro:
Guitar 1, electric or acoustic. Clean with low gain.
      Asus4       A           Asus4       A        D
e|--------------------------------------------------------|  Repeat this pattern for
B|----3-3--33--3--2-2--22--2--3-3--33--3--2-2--22--7/2----|  the verses strumming the
G|o---2-2--22--2--2-2--22--2--2-2--22--2--2-2--22--7/2---o|  A and Asus4 chords but
D|o---2-2--22--2--2-2--22--2--2-2--22--2--2-2--22--7/2---o|  omitting the slide from
A|--------------------------------------------------------|  the D power chord unless
E|--------------------------------------------------------|  otherwise indicated.
                                                   Huh!

Verse 1:

Asus4                A
   I'm tired of the city life,
Asus4               A
   Summer's on the run.
Asus4             A
   People tell me I should stay
Asus4                   A  D
   But I got to get my sun.
Asus4               A
   So don't try to hold me back,
Asus4                       A
   There's nothing you can say.
Asus4                 A
   Snake eyes on the pair of dice
        D       C#m Bm     <--(Play open chords here)
And we got to go today.

Chorus:

Gmaj7             D             Gmaj7
   Take me to the April sun in Cuba,
        D
Whoa-oo-oh!
Gmaj7                D                   Gmaj7
   Take me where the April sun's gonna treat me
        D D                <--(Strum D twice then stop)
So right!   So right.

Verse 2:

I can almost smell the perfumed nights
And see the starry sky.
I wish you comin' with me baby,
'Cause right before my eyes,
See Castro in the alley way
Talkin' 'bout missile love,
Talkin' 'bout JFK
And the way he shook him up.

Chorus:

Gmaj7             D             Gmaj7
   Take me to the April sun in Cuba,
        D
Whoa-oo-oh!
Gmaj7                D                   Gmaj7
   Take me where the April sun's gonna treat me
        D D                <--(Strum D twice then stop)
So right!   So right.

Verse 3:

Bm                   A     <--(Strum chords once then pick them out)
   I'm tired of the city life,
Bm                  A
   Summer's on the run.
Bm               A
   Birds in the winter sky
Bm                     A
   Are headed for the sun.
Bm             A
   Oh we can stick it out
Bm                    A
   In this cold and grey.
Bm                A
   Snake eyes on the pair of dice
        D       C#m Bm     <--(Play open chords here)
And we got to go today.

Chorus:

Gmaj7             D             Gmaj7
   Take me to the April sun in Cuba,
        D
Whoa-oo-oh!
Gmaj7                D                   Gmaj7
   Take me where the April sun's gonna treat me
        D D                <--(Strum D twice then stop)
So right!   So right.
