(intro)
4x
G D,
(verse)
A G
Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
C D
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
A G
Moonshine, that's where they make it,
D
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
A G
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
C D
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
A G
Stepped out in the sun, when my feet hit the sand
D
What a long strange trip
(chorus)
A G D
I spent my whole life running around
A G D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
A G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
D
To a long-legged model
A G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
D
A pirate flag and an island girl
(instrumental)
2x
A G D,
A G
Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
C D
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
A G
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
D
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
A G
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
C D
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
A G
Something 'bout it makes her just wanna dance
D
And she loves to dance
(chorus)
A G D
I spent my whole life running around
A G D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
A G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
D
To a long-legged model
A G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
D
A pirate flag and an island girl
(instrumenta-bridge)
A
(pirate flag and an island girl, island girl)
C
Well I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
D
Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good
C D
But here we are in a local bar and drinkin' shooting stars
(chorus-out)
A G D
I spent my whole life running around
A G D
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
A G
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
D
To a long-legged model
A G
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
D A G,
A pirate flag and an island girl
D A G,
A pirate flag and an island girl
D G D, G
A pirate flag and an island girl
D G
A pirate flag and an island girl
D G D
A pirate flag and an island girl
