Cowboy In The Jungle Chords by Jimmy Buffett

[G] _ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ There's a cowboy in the jungle _ and he [Am] looks so out of place
With [D] his shrimp skin boots and his cheap cheroots
And his [C] skin [D] as white [G] as paste
_ _ Heading _ south to _ Paraguay where the [Am] Gaucho sing and shout
_ [D] Now he's stuck in _ Portobello since [C] his money [D] all [G] ran out
_ So _ _ _ he hangs out with the sailors night [Am] and day they're raising him
_ [D] And his original _ _ _ destination's just [C] another story [D] that he [G] loves to tell
_ _ With no plans for the future he [Am] still seems in control
_ [D] From a bronco ride to a ten-foot tide he [C] just [D] had to learn [G] to roll
_ _ [C] _
[D] Roll with [G] punches, _ _ [C] played [D] all of [G] his _ hunches
[C] _
Made the best [G] of whatever came [D] his way
_ What _ _ [C] he [D] lacked in [G] ambition he [C] made up [D] with [Em] in fruition
_ _ _ [C] Wow and [D] straight ahead come [G] what [C] may
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] Steel band in the distance and their [Am] music floats across the bay
_ _ [D] While American women and moo-moos talk [C] about all the [D] things they [G] did today
And their husbands quack about fishing _ as this [Am] love goes rum drinks down
_ _ [D] Discussing who caught what and who sat on his butt
But [C] it's the only [D] show in [G] town
They're [C] trying to [D] drink all [G] the punches
_ [C] They call they [D] lose [G] their _ lunches
[C] _
Trying to cram [G] lost years in five or six [D]
days
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Seize [D] that blind [G] ambition
_ _ [C] Erase [D] their [Em] _ intuition
_ [C] _
Wow and [D] straight ahead come [G] what may
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] I don't [C] want to live on that [G] kind of island
_ _ _ _ _ [F] No I don't [C] want to swim in a rope [G] dock _
_ It's _ too [Em] much for me
_ Too much [A] for me
_ _ _ [C] I gotta be where the [D] wind and the water [G] are free
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] Alone on a midnight passage
I can [Am] count the falling stars
While [D] the southern cross and the satellites
They [C] remind [D] me of where [G] we are
_ _ Spending around in circles
_ _ [Am] Living it day to day
And [D] still 24 hours maybe 60 good years
[C] It's really not [D] that long a [G] stay
_ We [C] gotta [D] roll [G] with the punches
[C] Learn to play [D] all of [G] our _ _ [C] hunches
Make the [G] best of whatever comes your [D] _ _
_ way
_ _ [C] Forget that [D] blind [G] _ ambition
And learn [C] to trust [D]
your [Em] intuition
_ _ [C] _ Wow and [D] straight ahead come [G] what may
[C] _
[G] And _ there's [D] a _ cowboy [C] _ in [G] the jungle _
