[Verse I]
 
E
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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          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
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
E   Asus2   Bsus2   E
 
 
[Verse II]
 
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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         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
 
 
[Bridge]
 
       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
 
 
[Chorus] (Single Downward Strums)
 
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
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
E   Asus2   Bsus2   E   until end
 
Wouldn’t that be the life?
Wouldn’t that be the life?
