[Bb]
[C]
It [F] was early one morning, [Bb] Playa Del Carmen, [C] that's when I first met Jose.
He had a twelve-foot schooner, [Bb] a three-foot cooner, [C] full of the catch of the [C] day.
He [F] was wrinkled from grinning from [Bb] all the sun he'd been in, he [C] was barefoot, cerveza [F] in hand.
He said gracias, senor, when [Bb] I paid him too much for [C] all of the snapper he [F] had.
[Bb] I told him, my friend, it [F] ain't [C] nothing, in the best broken Spanish [F] I knew.
I said, [Bb] I'll make a good living [F] back home [Am] where I'm from.
[C] He smiled and said, amigo, me too.
He said, [F] I fish and [Bb] I play my guitar, I laugh at the bar with [F] my friends.
I go home to my wife, [Bb] I pray every night, I can do it all [F] over again.
[Bb] [D] [Gm]
[F] Somewhere over Texas, [Bb] I thought of my Lexus [C] and all the stuff I worked so [F] hard for.
And [F] all the things that I've gathered [Bb] from climbing that ladder [C] didn't make much sense [F] anymore.
They say [Bb] my nest egg ain't ready [F] to hatch yet, they [C] keep holding my feet to [F] a fire.
They [Bb] call it paying the price so [F] that one day in life [C] I'll have what I need to retire.
I just [F] fish and [Bb] play my guitar, [C] laugh at the bar with my friends.
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 Jose.
And [F] just fish [C] and [Bb] play my guitar, [C] laugh at the bar with [F] my friends.
I go home to my wife, [Bb] I pray every night, [C] I can do it all [F] over again.
