[Intro]
G C G C/G G
[Verse 1]
G There's a cowboy in the jungle Am And he looks so out of place D With his shrimpskin boots and his cheap cheroots C D G And his skin as white as paste G Headin' south to Paraguay Am Where the Gauchos sing and shout D Now he's stuck in Porto Bello C D G C D C Since his money all ran out G So he hangs out with the sailors Am Night and day they're raisin' hell D And his original destination's just another C D G Story that he loves to tell G With no plans for the future Am He still seems in control D From a bronco ride to a ten foot tide C D G He just had to learn to roll
[Chorus]
C D G Roll with the punches C D G Played all of his hunches C G D Made the best of whatever came his way C D G What he lacked in ambition C D Em He made up with in-tuition C D G C D C Plowing straight ahead come what may
[Verse 2]
G Steel band in the distance Am And their music floats across the bay D While American women in moo-moos C D G Talk about all the things they did today G And their husbands quack about fishing Am As they slug those rum drinks down D Discussing who caught what and who sat on his butt C D G But it's the only show in town
[Chorus]
C D G They're tryin' to drink all the punches C D G They all may lose their lunches C G D Tryin' to cram lost years into five or six days C D G C D Em Seems that blind ambition erased their intuition C D G C D C Plowin' straight ahead come what may
[Bridge]
F C G Now I don't want to live on that kind of island F C G No I don't want to swim in a roped off sea Em Em7 A7 Too much for you, too much for me C D G C D C I've got to be where the wind and the water are free
[Verse 3]
G Alone on a midnight passage Am I can count the falling stars D While the Southern Cross and the satellites C D G They remind me of where we are G Spinning around in circles Am Living it day to day D And still twenty four hours may be sixty good years C D G It's really not that long a stay
[Chorus]
C D G We've gotta roll with the punches C D G Learn to play all of our hunches C G D Make the best of whatever comes your way C D G Forget that blind ambition C D Em And learn to trust your intuition C D G C D C Plowin' straight ahead, come what may D C D G And there's a cowboy in the jungle
