[Verse 1]
        Am                         G
Well, I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,

C                  D
  Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.

Am            G
  Moonshine, that's where they make it,

D
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.

       Am                   G
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night

    C                           D
And took it all the way to the end of the line.

        Am                         G
Stepped down in the sun, when my feet hit the sand

         D
What a long strange trip
[Chorus]
           Am             G              D
I spent my whole life a-running around (running around)

              Am          G              D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around

                 Am         G           D
Well I dropped a note in a bottle to a long-legged model

      Am                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

  D
A pirate flag and an island girl
[Instrumental] Am G D Am G D [Verse 2]
        Am                            G
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind

C                         D
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why

Am                         G
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table

D
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able

            Am                       G
Well don't know what makes you say "What the hell"

             C                  D
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail

Am                                  G
Something 'bout her makes you just wanna dance

        D
And she loves to dance
[Chorus]
           Am            G              D
I spent my whole life a-running around (running around)

              Am          G              D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around

                 Am         G           D
Well I dropped a note in a bottle to a long-legged model

      Am                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

  D
A pirate flag and an island girl

(Pirate flag and an island girl)
[Bridge]
           C
Well I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon

         D
Talking 'bout the new world and life was good

C                                          D
  But here we are in a local bar drinkin' shootin' stars
[Chorus]
                 Am             G              D
I might spend my whole life a-running around (running around)

              Am          G              D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around

                 Am         G            D 
Well I dropped a note in a bottle to a long-legged model

      Am                  G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world

D
A pirate flag and an island girl

Am     G     D
          A pirate flag and an island girl

Am     G     D
          A pirate flag and an island girl
[Outro] (Intro Riff)
Am D  Am   D
       A pirate flag and an island girl

Am    D                             Am   D
  A pirate flag and an island girl
