Intro
D


Verse 1
D
I’ve been feeling like a piece of rice paper
           G
Think I’ll move to an island and turn into vapor
      D
Get a scooter and a house on a hill
A
Fish all day just to fill up the grill
         D
Spend my mornings making chocolate milk and Eggos
   G
My days at the beach, my nights stepping on Legos
      D
Gonna wave to the world screaming, "Hasta luego"
     A
Everybody back home will say where the hell did he go


Chorus
      D
Gonna 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
      D
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
     G
When people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
         D
With the wind in my hair
          A                 D
I’m gonna scooter my blues away


Verse 2
D
I hear those islands calling my name
          G
Since the first time I saw em’ Lord I ain’t been the same
D
Maybe I’ll end up in Chalong
   A
Or 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
      D
Gonna 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
      D
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
     G
When people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
         D
With the wind in my hair
          A                 D
I’m gonna scooter my blues away


Guitar Solo
G   D   G   A


Out-Chorus
          D
I'm gonna 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
      D
Gonna hop on my scooter and go down to the store
     G
When people say are you him I’ll say not anymore
         D
With the wind in my hair
          A                 D
I’m gonna scooter my blues away
D
With the wind in my hair
          A                 G    A  D
I’m gonna scooter my blues away
