By Kenny Chesney (acoustic version)
This could also be played with a capo on 4 and play
D for F, G for Bb, and A7 for C7 and Bm for Dm...
F
Man I could use a Pina Colada
F
A little bit-a sun on my skin
Bb
A hammock, a book, never gonna look back
F
Once my feet hit the sand
C7 F
I've had it up to here with this rat race
C7
Need a smile on my face
F
I wanna go where I can lighten up the load
Dm
Drive a little while on the wrong side of the road
Bb F
Get this layin low off to a flyin start
F
Play my guitar in the Caribbean sun
Dm
Hang with the locals at The Quiet Mon
Bb C7
Where you be a tourist, a beach bum or a star,
Bb
Be as you are
Gettin' stuck sure would be easy
In this palm tree paradise
Ambition fades with every wave
For the finer things in life
Maybe I'll just hang around here
Go home later next year
F
Maybe I'll just hang around here
C7
Go home later next year
Chorus
