1st verse 
D5                           G5                    E5  
Winnebagos and airstreams, all headed north in a line 
A5 
friends and relations, on a coastal vacation 
D5                                   A5        D5  
well I sure hope they've had a good time  
 
2nd verse 
D5 
There going back to the race, back to the place 
G5                                  E5 
they'll come down again there's no doubt 
A5 
It's the end of the season, makes a pretty good reason 
                         D5 
for me to be headed down south 


D5                                       G5 
Down to laguna madre, cruisin' over the causway 
A5 
There's nobody here, the coast is all clear 
                        D5         A5    
It's my kinda of day on Padre

D5                  G5                        E5 
7 eleven is empty, there's no t-shirt's for sale 
A5 
the condo's are clearin', they boarded there windows 
D5                               A5 
There ready for the winds first gale  
 
4th verse 
D5 
I guess I'm here because I'm a nautical dreamer 
G5                                      E5 
I ain't gotta a boat, so I'll take the isle 
A5 
Makin' friends with the seagulls, pickin' up sea shells 
                        D5 
not another tourist for miles 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
5th verse 
D5 
Think I'll see what's shakin' at Port A 
G5                          E5  
Stop at Shory's, have me a round 
A5 
With one ol'skipper, a few bay shrimpers. 
D5                                           A5 
They've been talkin' 'bout the fish they'd found 
 
6th verse 
D5 
Then the old man raises his glass 
G5                                 E5  
and tremble's as he speaks of the pier 
A5 
Say's, Now there all gone you know, but not to long ago 
                               D5 
remember when the tarpon where here

It' my kinda of day on Padre
