	G
There's a	cowboy in the jungle

	Am
And he	looks so out of place

	D
With his	shrimpskin boots and his cheap cheroots

	C	D	G
And his	skin as	white as	paste

	G
	Headin' south to Paraguay

	Am
Where the	Gauchos sing and shout

	D
Now he's	stuck in Porto Bello

	C	D	G
Since his	money all	ran out

So he (G)hangs out with the sailors

Night and (Am)day they're raisin' hell

And his (D)original destination's just another

Story (C)that (D)he loves(G) to tell

With no (G)plans for the future

He still (Am)seems in control

From a (D)bronco ride to a ten foot tide

He just(C) had to(D) learn to (G)roll

Chorus:

	G	C	D	G
		Roll	with the	punches

	C	D	G
	Play all	of his	hunches

	C	G	D
	Make the best of	whatever came his	way

	C	D	G
What	he lacked	in ambi	tion

	C	D	Em
He made	up with	in-	tuition

	C	D	G
	Plowing straight a	head come what	may

Steel(G) band in the distance

And their(Am) music floats across the bay

While (D)American women in moomoos

Talk about (C)all the (D)things they (G)did today

And their(G) husbands quack about fishing

As they slug(Am) those rum drinks down

Discussing who(D) caught what and who sat on his butt

But it's(C) the (D)only show(G) in town

Chorus:

They're (C)tryin' to (D)drink all(G) the punches

They all(C) may lose (D)their (G)lunches

Tryin'(C) to cram lost(G) years into (D)five or six days

Seems that(C) blind ambition(D) erased their (Em)intuition

Plowin'(C) straight(D) ahead come (G)what may

Refrain:

	Am	C	G
But	I don't want to	live on that kind of is	land

	Am	C	G
No I	don't want to	swim in a roped off	sea

	Em	A7
Too much for	me, too much for	me

	C	D	G
I've	got to be where the	wind and the water are	free

Alone on a midnight passage

I can count the falling stars

While the Southern Cross and the satellites

They remind me of where we are

Spinning around in circles

Living it day to day

And still twenty four hours may be sixty good years

It's still not that long a stay

Chorus:

We've gotta roll with the punches

Learn to play all of our hunches

Makin' the best of whatever comes your way

Forget that blind ambition

And learn to trust your intuition

Plowin' straight ahead come what may

	D	C	G
And there's a	cowboy	in the	jungle
