I've been waiting for a while to do this.
I went over and visited Leo earlier tonight.
For those of you who don't know, there's a great old Bora Bora legend, Mr.
Leo Wooten, who is with us tonight.
He actually lives over here in the [Bm] flower bed.
[N] For those of you who didn't know that over there, you're in the graveside dining area.
I love the fact that when Leo passed on, Dexter buried him in the bar.
What a fitting [G] tribute.
This was one of Leo's favorite songs.
I met Leo when I came here with my young daughter many years ago.
For the man who sailed from Lubbock, Texas on the Aquaholics to Bora Bora, Leo, here we go.
Whoa!
Let's
[D] [C]
[G] [C] [G] just say that [D] this is a [C] first, that you [G] can actually sing a song about [C] a friend of [G] yours who's passed on who [C] actually [G] [C] buried in the [G] bar.
[C] [G] Very cool, [C] Dexter, very cool.
[G]
There's a cowboy in the jungle, [Am] and he looks so out of place
With [D] his shrimp skin boots and his jeep [C] charoot
And his [D] skin's as [G] white as bait
Headed south to Paraguay [Am] where the gauchos sing and shout
But [D] he got stuck in Portobello where [C] his [D] money all [G] ran out
[C] [G] So he hangs out with the sailors
[Am] Night and day they're raising hell
[G] [D] And his original destination
Just [C] another story that [D] he [G] loves to tell
No plans for the future
[Am] He still seems in control
From a [D] Bronco ride to a ten-foot tide
[C] He just [D] had to [G] learn to roll
[C] You got to [D] roll [G] with the punches
[C]
Play [D] all of [G] your hunches
[C]
Make the [G] best of whatever comes [D] your way
[C] So if you're [D] sad, blind, [G] and missing
[C]
Trust [D] your [Em] intuition
[C]
Plowing straight [D] ahead, [G] come what may
[C] [G] Steel band in the distance
[Am] And the music floats across the bay
[D]
While American women moo-moo's
[G] Talk [C] about all the [D] things they [G] did today
Yes, their husbands quite good at fishing
[Am] As they slipped those rum drinks down
[D] Discussing who caught what and who sat on whose butt
But [C] it's the [D] only show [G] in town
We're [C] trying to [D] drink [G] all the punches
We [C]
all [D] might lose [G] our lunches
[C]
Trying to cram [G] lost years into five or [D] six days
[C] But they [D] lack the [G] ambition
They [C] make up [D] with [Em] intuition
[C] Plowing [Em] straight [D] ahead, come [G] what [C] may
[G] [F] But I don't [B] want [C] to live off [G] that kind of violence
No, [F]
I don't [C] want to swim in a [G] roped-off [C] sea
[G] Too [D] [Em] much for me
Too [A] much for me
[C] I gotta be where [D] the wind and the [G] water are free
Alone on a midnight passage
I [Am] can count the falling stars
While [D] the southern cross and the satellite
[C] They remind [D] me of [G] where we are
Just spinning around [Em] in [G] circles
[Am] Trying to live it day to day
[D] Oh, 24 hours, I want 90 a year
It's [C] really not [D] that long [G] a stay
You've got [C] to [D] roll [G] with the punches
[C]
Lay [D] all of [G] your haunches
[C]
Make the [G] best of whatever comes [D] your way
[C]
Forget [D] that blind [G] ambition
[C]
Trust [D] your [Em] intuition
[C] Plowing straight [D] ahead, come [G] what [C] may
[G] And there's [D] a cowboy [C] in [G] the jungle
[C]
[G] [C] [G]
