[C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] [F] It was early one [Bb] morning, flyer Del Con, [C] that's when I first met [F] Hosey.
He had a twelve foot schooner, [Bb] a three foot cooler, [C] full of the catch [Fm] of the day. _
[Gm] [F] He was wrinkled from grinning [Bb] from all the sun he'd been in, [C] he was barefoot, [F] surveys at hand. _
He said gracias _ [Bb] senor when I paid him too much [C] for all of the snapper [F] he had. _
[Bb] I told him my friend [F] it ain't nothing, _ [C] and the best broken [F] Spanish I knew.
I [Bb] said I'd make a good living [C] back home [F] where I'm from, [C] he smiled and said amigo me [Fm] [C] too.
He [F] said I fish, [Bb] I play my guitar, [C] I laugh at the bar [F] with my friends.
[Gm] [F] I go home to my wife, [Bb] I pray every night, [C] I can do it [F] all over again.
_ [Bb] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ Somewhere over Texas, [Bb] I thought of my [C] Lexus, and all the stuff I worked [F] so hard [C] for.
[Bb] [F] And all the things that I've gathered [Bb] from climbing that ladder [C] didn't make much sense [F] anymore.
_ They [Bb] say my nest egg ain't [F] ready to hatch yet, _ [C] they keep holding my feet [F] to the fire.
They [Bb] call it paying the price, [F] so that one day in life [C] I'll have what I need to retire.
[F] I just fish, _ [Bb] I play my guitar, [C] I laugh at the bar [F] with my friends.
[Dm] [F] I go home to my wife, [Bb] I pray every night, [C] I can do it all [F] over again. _ _ _ _
[Gm] And to think that I thought [F] for a while there that I [Bb] had it made.
_ [F] _ _ _
[Gm] And the truth is I'm really [F] just dying _ [Bb] _ to live [C] like Holmes did.
_ _ _ And [F] just fish, _ [Bb] and play my guitar, [C] and laugh at the bar [F] with my friends.
[Gm] [F] Go home to my [Bb] wife, and pray every night, [C] I can do it all [F] over again.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ Wouldn't [E] that be [F] a lie, _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ wouldn't that be a lie.
