The Straight Life

	  		       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 
 
        D                                        Asus          A  Asus 
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
