Intro
[D]
Verse 1
[D]I’ve been feeling like a piece of rice paper
Think I’ll [G]move to an island and turn into vapor
Get a [D]scooter and a house on a hill
[A]Fish all day just to fill up the grill
Spend my [D]mornings making chocolate milk and Eggos
My [G]days at the beach, my nights stepping on Legos
Gonna [D]wave to the world screaming, "Hasta luego"
[A]Everybody back home will say where the hell did he go
Chorus
Gonna [D]hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
[G]Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
[D]Wake up every day in the sun
[A]Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna [D]hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When [G]people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
With the [D]wind in my hair
I’m gonna [A]scooter my blues [D]away
Verse 2
[D]I hear those islands calling my name
Since the [G]first time I saw em’ Lord I ain’t been the same
[D]Maybe I’ll end up in Chalong
Or [A]over in Kata Not or up in Karon
[D]Buy me a bar in Nakhon Is Thammarat
[G]Learn how to kickboxing so I don’t get fat
[D]Suck on some coconuts and play me some checkers
[A]Lay on the beach ‘til all my freckles connected
Chorus
Gonna [D]hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
[G]Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
[D]Wake up every day in the sun
[A]Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna [D]hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When [G]people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
With the [D]wind in my hair
I’m gonna [A]scooter my blues [D]away
Guitar Solo
[G] [D] [G] [A]
Out-Chorus
I'm gonna [D]hop in a boat and throw the paddle away
[G]Offer my heart up to the break and the sway
[D]Wake up every day in the sun
[A]Kick off my flip-flops and go for a run
Gonna [D]hop on my scooter and go down to the store
When [G]people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
With the [D]wind in my hair
I’m gonna [A]scooter my blues [D]away
[D]With the wind in my hair
I’m gonna [A]scooter my blues [G][A]away[D]
