D5                                 A5               A5  A5 
Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter 
     F#5           B5             E5                                  A5 
Seeker of fortunes, connoisseur of great wines 
  G5                                A5                    D5 
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green 
    G5             A5                      D5 
Trying to catch the impossible dream 
   C5          C5                       A5 A5 A5 
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d 
 

     D5                                                A5              A5  A5 
Sometimes my thoughts may find me in  Mexico 
   F#5           B5         E5                            A5 
Drinking tequila, going out of my mind 
  G5              A5                  D5 
Having a ball on a couple of bob 
   G5                     A5              D5 
Treating the ladies to corn on the cob 
  C5            C5                      A5 A5 A5 
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d 
 

  G5                          F#5 
Suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear 
E5                               A5                    D5 
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer 
   C5                     C5                 G5                             D5              C5                  A5 A5 A5 
Winking and blinking and blowing my ear, running away with my m-i-n-d 
 G5                   A5                       E5            D5 
It's great to be in love, I'm not really thinking of 
   C5                   C5                   F5      A5                   D5               A5                    D5 
Leaving the straight life behind,       I'm just playing a game in my mind 
 
Do Do Do Do (do do do do)    Do Do Do Do ( do do do ) etc. 
C5               D5                  A5               D5           C5            D5          A5 
 
        D5                                        A5          A5  A5 
Once in a while in my mind I go    a - b u m m i n? 
   F#5                B5                    E5         A5 
Going to nowhere with no worry of time 
    G5             A5                        D5 
Running along chasing after a train 
   G5               A5                       D5 
Humming a song in the sun and the rain 
   C5          C5                       A5 A5 A5 
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d 
 

    D5                                    A5    A5  A5 
I can just see me on a tropical island 
  F#5             B5                             E5        A5 
Riding the surf and drinking coconut wine 
  G5           A5                                   D5 
Having me fun with golden girls in the sand 
    G5           A5                                  D5 
Chasing the sun through an innocent land 
    C5         C5                        A5 A5 A5 
Leaving the straight life  b-e-h-i-n-d
