The Straight Life

(início)

D                   Asus            A Asus
Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter
  F#         Bm         E                      A
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines
 G                  A             D
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green
  G          A              D
Trying to catch the impossible dream
 C      C/G                   A Asus A
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d
  D                            Asus          A Asus
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in  Mexico
 F#        Bm        E                 A
Drinking tequila, going out of my mind
 G         A            D
Having a ball on a couple of bob
  G               A         D
Treating the ladies to corn on the cob
 C       C/G                  A Asus A
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d
 G                  F#m
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear
Em                   A             D
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer
 C              C/G           G                   D         C         A Asus A
Winking and blinking and blowing my ear, running away with my m-i-n-d
 G              A                 Em          D
It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of
 C             C/G               F        A            D          A        D
Leaving the straight life behind,       I'm just playing a game in my mind
Do Do Do Do (do do do do)    Do Do Do Do ( do do do ) etc.
C               D                  A               D           C            D          A

Once in a while in my mind I go    a - b u m m i n?
 F#          Bm              Em        A
Going to nowhere with no worry of time
  G        A                D
Running along chasing after a train
 G         A              D
Humming a song in the sun and the rain
 C      C/G                   A Asus A
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d
   D                       Asus     A Asus
I can just see me on a tropical island
 F#         Bm                    Em      A
Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine
 G      A                        D
Having me fun with golden girls in the sand
  G       A                     D
Chasing the sun through an innocent land
 C      C/G                    A Asus A
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d
Repeat  Chorus  and  fade
