Capo 5
Note: listen to hammer on the D and A for intro, breaks, etc.
D A E x2

       D                         A      
Well I come from a little bitty, homegrown small town,
E                              A
Smoky Mountains, nice place to hang around.
D           A
Moonshine, that's where they make it,
E 
Put it in a jug, makes you wanna get naked.
D                               A
But I jumped on a greyhound bus one night
E                               A
And took it all the way to the end of the line.
D                                 A
Stepped down in the sun, when my feet hit the sand
       E
What a long strange trip


CHORUS:
           E          D       A
I spent my whole life running around
              E          D        A
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
                  E        D              
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
      A
To a long-legged model
      E                  D
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A
A pirate flag and an island girl

D A E x2

Well my friends back home think I've gone and lost my mind
Take a sip of rum and you really would know why
Jolly Roger flying on the picnic table
Blender in the kitchen, willin' and able
Don't know what makes you say "What the hell"
But when the salt air catches a hold of that sail
Something 'bout her makes you just wanna dance
And she loves to dance

CHORUS
D A E

  E
I remember back home 'neath the big ol' moon
D
Tucked back in the woods, yea life was good
A                              D
But here we are in a local bar drinkin' shooting stars

I might spend my whole life running around
Still let the wind kinda blow me around
Well I dropped a note in a bottle
To a long-legged model
And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world
A pirate flag and an island girl

D A E to end

A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
A pirate flag and an island girl
