E                  A       E
400 miles down the Mexican coast
E                            A          E
I'm two hundred dollars from being flat broke
C#m                A       E
Surf Seven Sisters all day long
C#m                    A        E
Drinking mescal as the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
E                        A            E
I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
E                     A        E
Along come a senorita say your mind
C#m          A               E
Venga gringo where you gonna go?
C#m                          A        E
You can stay with me just on down the road

[Verse 3]
E                    A              E
Kissing her lips and rolling on the beach
E                       A    E
Baby stay here work for family
C#m                      A       E
Down the coast there's a landing strip
   C#m                             A        E
My brother's got a plane you could work for him

[Chorus]
B                       C#m
Oh lord let me live for one more day
A                      E
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
B                     C#m
Oh lord if you get me out of this place
A                         E
I'll never stray from the straight and narrow way
B                      C#m
Oh lord if you give me one small sign
A                      E
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life
        A          E      A    E
For the rest of my life

[Verse 4]
E                    A            E
Fat grasshopper on a sweet potato vine
E                         A          E
She saw me coming, saw me coming for miles
C#m                 A      E
Gringo surfers from California
C#m           G#      A     E
They fly them down to Putanegra

[Verse 5]
E                       A               E
Got a baby girl and she looks like mom
E                      A       E
Black curly hair and a devil's smile
C#m                    A       E
Federales know what we take up north
C#m                       A       E
Lord let me live 'til I'm old and grey

[Chorus]
B                       C#m
Oh lord let me live for one more day
A                      E
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
B                     C#m
Oh lord if you get me out of this place
A                         E
I'll never stray from the straight and narrow way
B                      C#m
Oh lord if you give me one small sign
A                      E
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life
        A          E      A    E
For the rest of my life
        A          E      A    E
For the rest of my life
