Chords

By: Jerry Jeff Walker
G 
We've been here a week or so

C
Now it's finally time to go

G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown

G
Packin' up the bathin' suits

C
Getting' out the cowboy boots

G                D             G
That's a sign we must be going home

G
Time just stopped for a little while

C
We were part of a tiny island

G                                    D
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life

G
When we get back home to Texas

C
And they ask us what we missed most

G             D                  G
I'll shrug my shoulders and I'll smile
[Chorus]
C
Early mornings on the long boat dock

G
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up

Am        D                       G
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair

C
Late night dancing in the front street bar

G
Walking home underneath the stars

Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live down here
[Instrumental] C G D G x2
G
Last night we ate conch and lobster,

C
Mark said it was his favorite dinner

G                               D
Maybe even the best one of his life,

G
Dining underneath the stars

C
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,

G                    D                 G
I smiled at him and said you could be right

G
And he got real quiet, and he said you know,

C    
Hell I worked hard all my life, I made a lot of dough,

G
I've been everywheres

                                            D 
I don't think it gets any better than down here

G
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,

C
no crime, no hate, or fear

G
I don't think I'm ready

          D                         G
for the world waiting for me back there
I need me just... [Chorus]
C
One more morning on the long boat dock,

G
drinking coffee as the sun comes up

Am               D                    G
Drinking Bilikin beer in the big deck chair,

C
late night dancin' in a front street bar

G
Makin' love under the stars,

Am                  D                  G
man it's like some dream we live down here

C
Walking home underneath the stars,

G
hearing voices from that empty bar

Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live done there

G 
We've been here a week or so

C
Now it's finally time to go

G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown

G
Packin' up the bathin' suits

C 
Getting' out the cowboy boots

G                D             G
That's a sign we must be goin' home...
