Kenny Chesney - The Life: chords

F
It was early one mornin’
A#
Playa del Carmen
C                        F
That’s when I first met Jose
F
He had a 12 foot Schooner
A#
A 3 foot cooler
C                         F
Full of the catch of the day

And he was wrinkled from grinning
From all of the sun he had been in
He was barefoot, cerveza in hand
He said "Gracias senor",
when I paid him too much for
All of the Snapper he had

       A#                          F
Now I told him my friend it ain’t nothin’
        C                  F
In the best broken Spanish I knew
         A#
I said I make a good livin’
      F
Back home where I’m from
     C
He smiled and said Amigo me too

Chorus:
        F              A#
He said I fish and I play my guitar
   C                     F
I laugh at the bar with my friends
I go home to my wife
    A#
I pray every night
       C               F
I can do it all over again

Somewhere over Texas
I thought of my Lexus
And all the stuff I work so hard for
And all the things that I've gathered
From climbing that ladder
Didn't make much sense anymore
They say my nest egg ain't ready to hatch yet
They keep holding my feet to the fire
They call it paying the price
So that one day in life
I'll have what I need to retire

Chorus:
And just fish
And play my guitar
And laugh at the bar with my friends
And go home to my wife
And pray every night
I can do it all over again

        F#m                         F/A
And to think that I thought for a while
                 A#      F/A
there that I had it made
         F#m                       F/A   A#
When the truth is I’m really just dying
              C
To live like Jose

Chorus:
And just fish
Play my guitar
Laugh at the bar with my friends
Go home to my wife
Pray every night
I can do it all over again

Wouldn't that be the life?
Wouldn't that be the life?
