 Bm7        E7           A7M
Livin' and lovin' life's so damn easy
Am             D11        G7M
 When days are sunny and skies are blue-ue
     C#m7(b5)  F#7             B7               E7
 And dancin' all night, some parties till the daylight
Am             D                A       B7 
 Drink Tequila Sunrise with the morning dew
     E    F#m7    Abm7   F#m7
 And you  -ou    -ou   my lady
E           F#m7        Abm7           F#m7      G6
 I'm makin' love in the sand while the surf keeps time
        F#m7          B7#9
