_ There's a cowboy in the jungle and [Am] he looks so out of place
_ [D] With his shrimp skin boots and his cheap cheroots and [C] his skin [D] as white [G] as paste
_ _ _ Heading south to Paraguay where [Am] the Gaucho _ sing and shout
_ Now [D] he's stuck in _ [F#] Portobello since [C] his money [D] all [G] ran out _ _ _ _
_ _ So he hangs out with the sailors _ night and [Am] day they're raising him
_ And [D] his original _ _ destination's just [C] another story that [D] he loves to [G] 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] Rolled [G] his punches, _ _ [C] laid [D] all of [G] his _ hunches
[C] _
Made the best [G] of whatever came [D] his _ _ way
_ _ [C] What he [D] lacked in [G] ambition he [C] made up [D] with [Em] intuition
_ _ _ [C] _
Flyin' [D] straight ahead, come what [G] _
[C] may
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ Steel band in the distance and [Am] their music floats across the bay
_ _ [D] While American women and moo-moos talk [C] about all [D] the 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 [G] in town
They're [C] trying to [D] shrink all [G] the punches
_ [C] They all may [D] lose [G] their _ lunches
[C] _
Trying to [G] cram lost years in five or six [D]
days
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Seize [D] that blind [G] ambition
_ _ [C] Erase [D] their [Em] intuition
_ _ [C] _ _
Flyin' [D] straight ahead, come [G] what _ [C] may
[G] _ _ _ _ [F] I don't [C] wanna live on that [G] counter by _ _ now
_ [F] No, I don't [C] wanna swim in a roped [G]-off sea
_ _ Too _ [Em] much for me
_ _ _ Too much for _ me
[A] _ _ _ [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 the [D] Southern Cross and the satellites
They [C] remind [D] me of where [G] we are
_ _ Spendin' around in circles
_ _ [Am] Livin' it day to day
And [D] still 24 hours, maybe 60 good years
It's [C] really not [D] that [G] long a stay
We [C] gotta [D] roll with [G] the punches
_ [C] Learn to play [D] all of [G] our _ hunches
[C] _
Make the best [G] of whatever [D] comes your _ _ way
_ _ _ [C] Forget [D] that blind [G] ambition
And [C] learn to trust [D] your [Em] intuition
_ _ _ [C] _ _
Flyin' straight [D] ahead, come [G] what may
[C] _
[G] And _ there's [D] a cowboy _ [C] in the [G] jungle _
