 Gonna  put the the world away for a minute
 Pretend I don't live in it
 Sunshine gonna wash  my blues away
 Had  sweet love but I lost it
 She got too close so I fought her
  Now I'm lost  in the world  trying to find  me a better way
  Wishing I was  knee  deep in the water somewhere
  Got the blue  sky breeze and it don't seem fair
 
  Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
 Sunrise  there's a fire in the sky
  Never been  so happy, never felt so high
  And I think  I might have found  me my own  kind of paradise
 Riff
 Wrote  a note said be back in a minute
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it C

The ocean is my only medication E|-------------------------------|
  Wishing  my condition  ain't ever  gonna go  away
  Cause now I'm knee  deep in the water somewhere
  Got the blue  sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
 
  Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
 Sunrise  there's a fire in the sky
  Never been  so happy, never felt so high
  And I think  I might have found  me my own  kind of paradise
  This champagne  shore washing over  me
  It's a sweet,  sweet life living by the salty  sea
  One  day you could be as lost  as me
  Change you're geography
  Maybe you  might be
  CaddG
  Knee deep in the water somewhere
 
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair C

 ~ADDIONAL LEAD RIFF~
 This is the lead guitar lick that is played occasionally throughout the song
 (marked by ).  It just consists of keeping the forefinger on the 11th fret of
 the B and high E string while hammering on with either the middle or ring finger
 and the pinky. Since it requires 2 guitars, I did not include it in my main work
 (although the ending little lick in the Intro Riff is also a second guitar, but I
 decided to put that in as it's manageable to play with everything else), but if
 anyone is interested, here's the tabs! :)
 Key:
 p pull-off
 h hammer-on
 s slide
 x muted string
 Additional Lead Riff (can remove symbols if not using this riff)
