Verse I:
F
It was early one mornin’
Bbsus2
Playa del Carmen
Csus2                    F
That’s when I first met Jose
F
He had a 12 foot Schooner
Bbsus2
a 3 foot cooler
Csus2                  F
Full of the catch of the day
F
And he was wrinkled from grinnin’
Bbsus2
From all of the sun he had been in
       Csus2               F
He was barefoot  cerveza in hand
F                        Bbsus2
He said “Gracias senor”  when I paid him too much for
Csus2                F
All of the Snapper he had
Bbsus2                             F
Now I told him my friend it ain’t nothin’
       Csus2                 F
In the best broken Spanish I knew
         Bbsus2
I said I make a good livin’
      F
Back home where I’m from
   Csus2        (nc)
He smiled and said Amigo me too

Chorus:
          F          Bbsus2
He said I fish and I play my guitar
Csus2                     F
I laugh at the bar with my friends
F
I go home to my wife
Bbsus2
I pray every night
Csus2
I can do it all over again

Verse II:
F
Somewhere over Texas
Bbsus2
I thought of my Lexus
Csus2                      F
And all the stuff I work so hard for
F
And all the things that I’ve gathered
Bbsus2
From climbing that ladder
Csus2                  F
Didn’t make much sense anymore
Bbsus2                               F
They say my nest egg ain’t ready to hatch yet
Csus2                          F
They keep holding my feet to the fire
Bbsus2
They call it paying the price
        F
So that one day in life
     Csus2     (nc)
I’ll have what I need to retire

Chorus:
         F         Bbsus2
And just fish  and play my guitar 
Csus2                   F
Laugh at the bar with my friends 
F
Go home to my wife
Bbsus2
And pray every night 
Csus2               F
I can do it all over again

Bridge:
       Gbm                         F                    Bbsus2  F
And to think that I thought for a while there that I had it made
         Gbm                       F   Bbsus2
When the truth is I’m really just dying
             Csus2
To live like Jose

Chorus:
(nc)     F
And just fish
Bbsus2
Play my guitar
Csus2                  F
Laugh at the bar with my friends
F
Go home to my wife
Bbsus2
Pray every night
Csus2              F
I can do it all over again
