  Cowboy Boots & Bathin' Suits



Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
 
G
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G                D             G
That's a sign we must be going home
 
 
G
Time just stopped for a little while
C
We were part of a tiny island
G                                    D
Made a lot of friends we'll keep for life
G
When we get back home to Texas
C
And they ask us what we missed most
G             D                  G
I'll shrug my shoulders and I'll smile
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Early mornings on the long boat dock
G
Drinkin' coffee as the sun comes up
Am        D                       G
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair
C
Late night dancing in the front street bar
G
Walking home underneath the stars
Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live down here
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C  G  D  G   x2
 
 
G
Last night we ate conch and lobster,
C
Mark said it was his favorite dinner
G                               D
Maybe even the best one of his life,
G
Dining underneath the stars
C
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
G                    D                 G
I smiled at him and said you could be right
 
 
G
And he got real quiet, and he said you know,
C
Hell I worked hard all my life, I made a lot of dough,
G
I've been everywheres
                                            D
I don't think it gets any better than down here
 
 
G
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
C
no crime, no hate, or fear
G
I don't think I'm ready
          D                         G
for the world waiting for me back there
 
 
I need me just...
 
[Chorus]
 
C
One more morning on the long boat dock,
G
drinking coffee as the sun comes up
Am               D                    G
Drinking Bilikin beer in the big deck chair,
C
late night dancin' in a front street bar
G
Makin' love under the stars,
Am                  D                  G
man it's like some dream we live down here
 
 
C
Walking home underneath the stars,
G
hearing voices from that empty bar
Am                 D                  G
Man it's like some dream we live done there
 
 
G
We've been here a week or so
C
Now it's finally time to go
G                                  D
Can't believe how quickly time has flown
G
Packin' up the bathin' suits
C
Getting' out the cowboy boots
G                D             G
That's a sign we must be goin' home...
