Cowboy in the Jungle Chords by Jimmy Buffett

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [C] _ [Bm] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ There's a cowboy in the jungle and he [Am] looks so out of place
_ [D] With his shrimp skin boots and his cheap _ cheroots and [C] his skin [G] as white as paste _ _ _
Heading south to Paraguay where [Am] the Gaucho's singing shout _
[D] Now he's stuck in _ Portobello since [C] his money [D] all [G] ran out _
_ _ _ _ So he hangs out with the sailors [Am] night and day they're raising him
_ And [D] his original _ _ _ destination's just [C] another [D] story that he loves to [G] tell _ _
With no plans for the future _ [Am] he still seems in control _
From a [D] bronco ride to a ten foot tide he [C] just [D] had to learn [G] to roll _
_ [C] _ [D] Roll with [G] _ punches, _ [C] laid [D] all of [G] his _ hunches, [C] _ made the [G] best of whatever came [D] his way _ _ _ _ _
[C] What he [D] lacked in [G] ambition he [C] made up [D] with [Em] in fruition _ _
_ [C] While went straight [D] ahead, come what [G] may
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] Steel band in the distance and [Am] their music floats across the bay
While [D] _ American women and moo-moos talk [C] about all [D] the things they [G] did today _
And their husbands quack about fishing as this [Am] love goes rum drinks down _
_ [D] Discussing who caught what and who sat on his butt but [C] it's the only [D] show [G] in town
They're [C] trying to [D] crank all [G] the punches, _ [C] they call [D] me, lose [G] their _ lunches
[C] _ Trying to [G] cram lost years in five or [D] six days _ _ _ _
_ [C] Seems [D] that blind [G] ambition _
_ [C] erased [D] their [Em] intuition _
_ [C] _ While went [D] straight ahead, come [G] what _ [C] may
[G] _ _ _
_ [F] I don't [C] want to live on that [G] kind of island _ _ _ _ _
[F] No, I don't want [C] to swim in a roped [G]-off sea
_ Too _ _ [Em] much for me, _ too much for _ me _ _ _
[C] I gotta be where the [D] wind and the water [G] are _ [C] free
[G] _ _ [C] _
[G] Alone on a midnight passage, I can [Am] count the falling stars
While the [D] Southern Cross and the satellites, they [C] remind [D] me of where [G] we are _
_ Spending around in circles, _
_ [Am] living it day to day
And [D] still 24 hours, maybe 60 good years, [C] it's really not [D] that long a [G] stay
We [C] gotta _ [D] roll [G] with the punches, [C] learn to play [D] all of [G] our _ hunches
[C] _ Make the best [G] of whatever comes [D] your way _ _ _ _
[C] Forget [D] that blind [G] _ ambition [C] and learn to trust [D] your [Em] intuition _ _
[C] _ While went [D] straight ahead, come [G] what [C] may
_ [G] _ And there's [D] a cowboy _ [C] in _ [G] the jungle _ _ _ _ _ _
