[Verse 1]
D
There are days I wake up
D
like a tap on my shoulder

Remembering how to music and fun

But some days gone by,
C
but it’s still alive
G A
Comin’ down from way from above.
 
[Verse 2]
D
If I listen closely
D
It’s his voice I hear mostly

Talkin’ ‘bout the good times to come

Don’t forget what he says

for a winter day

Always makin’ time for good rum

Don’t you worry Just say good night
 
[Verse 3]

Well out on this boat,
D
It makes little notes

To one that it was sailin’ inside
C
But pretty birds in the air
C
clear blue water
G A
There’s not much you can easily hide
 
[Verse 4]
D
From Tahiti to Mexico
D
Ohio to Idaho
G
To blend the seas
G
in the blue

And when there was no bite
C
Just the sun out of site
G A
And your payment to Buffett is due
 
[Chorus 2]

Ain't Life Grand Tryin’ to sit with the sifting sand

Ain't Life Grand When you’re caught in the Yucatan

Ain't Life Grand When you’re out on your boat… all alone
G A Em
But some nights You never go home

Driving the back roads taking the long way
C C
Carryin’ no load doing it your way
Em Em
Looking for Paradise The water was real nice

The greenbacks are living this life

Ain't Life Grand When you’re caught in the Yucatan
