It was early one mornin’

Asus2
Playa del Carmen

Bsus2                    E
That’s when I first met Jose

E
He had a 12 foot schooner

Asus2
A 3 foot cooler

Bsus2                  E
Full of the catch of the day

E
And he was wrinkled from grinnin’

Asus2
From all of the sun he had been in

       Bsus2               E
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand

E                        Asus2
He said “Gracias senor”, when I paid him too much for

Bsus2                E
All of the snapper he had

Asus2                             E
Now I told him my friend it ain’t nothin’

       Bsus2                 E
In the best broken Spanish I knew

         Asus2
I said I make a good livin’

      E
Back home where I’m from

   Bsus2
He smiled and said Amigo me too

          E          Asus2
He said I fish and I play my guitar

  Bsus2                   E
I laugh at the bar with my friends

     E
I go home to my wife

  Asus2
I pray every night

      Bsus2
I can do it all over again

E
Somewhere over Texas

Asus2
I thought of my Lexus

Bsus2                      E
And all the stuff I work so hard for

E
And all the things that I’ve gathered

Asus2
From climbing that ladder

Bsus2                  E
Didn’t make much sense anymore

Asus2                               E
They say my nest egg ain’t ready to hatch yet

Bsus2                          E
They keep holding my feet to the fire

Asus2
They call it paying the price

        E
So that one day in life

     Bsus2
I’ll have what I need to retire

         E         Asus2
And just fish, and play my guitar,

Bsus2                   E
Laugh at the bar with my friends,

   E
Go home to my wife

    Asus2
And pray every night,

      Bsus2          E
I can do it all over again

       F#m                        E                        Asus2   E
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made

         F#m                     E       Asus2
When the truth is I’m really just dying

              Bsus2
To live like Jose

N.C.     E
And just fish

Asus2
Play my guitar

Bsus2                  E
Laugh at the bar with my friends

E
Go home to my wife

Asus2
Pray every night

      Bsus2          E
I can do it all over again
