INTRO: D C (2x)
#1.
C D D7
Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter,
F# Bm E A
seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines.
G Em D
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green,
G Em D
trying to catch the impossible dream,
C A A7
leaving the straight life be..hind.
#2.
D D7
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in Mexico,
F# Bm E A
drinking tequila, going out of my mind.
G Em D
Having a ball on a couple of bob,
G Em D
treating the ladies to corn on the cob,
C A A7
leaving the straight life be..hind.
CHORUS:
G F#m
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
Em A D
she comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
C G
winking and blinking and blowin' in my ear,
D C A A7
running away with my mi..nd.
G A Em D
It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of,
C F A
leaving the straight life be..hind,
D A D
I'm just playing a game in my mind.
D C D C D C D C
Do n' do do do do do do do do do....do n' do do do do do do do do do.
#3.
D D7
Once in a while in my mind I go bummin’,
F# Bm E A
going to nowhere, with no worry of time.
G Em D
Running along chasing after a train,
G Em D
humming a song in the sun and the rain,
C A A7
leaving the straight life be...hind.
#4.
D D7
I can just see me on a tropical island,
F# Bm E A
riding the surf and drinking coconut wine.
G Em D
Having me fun with golden girls in the sand,
G Em D
chasing the sun through an innocent land,
C A A7
leaving the straight life be..hind.
CHORUS:
G F#m
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear,
Em A D
she comes to me softly with crackers and beer,
C G
winking and blinking and blowin' in my ear,
D C A A7
running away with my mi..nd.
G A Em D
It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of,
C F A
leaving the straight life be..hind,
D A D
I'm just playing a game in my mind.
