All my friends have money… savings and health care… retirement plans
      D                       D                    A
They worked it all out… while I lived my life on… shifting sands

See, I’ve been a cowboy… and I’ve been a sailor… and I’ve been a screen actin’ fool

I guess I should’a stayed in school…   see, I didn’t think it was cool

Now it’s hard to get up in the morning…   after stayin’ out most of the night
    G                       D                       A    Asus2 A
My vices and habits…   are just like the sailor’s delight
     G                       D                          Bm       A           G
And I’d have takin’ better… care of myself…   if I was gonna be around this long

Verse 2:
           D                      D                        D
Well it’s takin’ some time…   but I got a good woman who… truly believes
     D                          D                 A               Asus2 A
But ‘round that old rock…   is holier dirt than… St. Peter’s grave
    Bm                  Bm                     D                       G
She says I’m the one…   who came along…   and rescued a soul from the sea
      A                    A      Asus2 A                        A
Well that’s almost funny… babe… haa…   she’s the one who rescued me

           G                     D                Bm                      G
Well it’s hard to get up in the morning…   after stayin’ out most of the night
    G                       D                       A    Asus2 A
My vices and habits…   are just like the sailor’s delight

    Bm*               G*              E*                A  G F#m Em
