[Verse 1]
D          G
Met a man, sailor man
Em                   A
With an island tan, down in Mexico
D               G
Sittin' there, fish are everywhere
Em
Biggest one this year, couldn't let 'em go
D                G
I said, "Hey man, what's your secret?"
Em                        E
He said, "I'll tell you if you'll say you'll keep it
D                         G
You can throw out a line but you can't make 'em bite
Em
You can drop a lime in your Corona Light"


[Chorus]
D
But you can't drink all day
G                        Em       A
If you don't start in the mornin'
D
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
G                   Em         A
Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
D                           G
Well, life's sweeter than a margarita
       Em              A
So you better get to pourin'
                 D
'Cause you can't drink all day
G                         Em
If you don't start in the mornin'
A                        D G Em D G Em
Oh, start in the mornin'


[Verse 2]
D                                 G
Yeah, you can build you a big ol' castle in the sand
Em                   D
Do a back flip off a catamaran
                            G
You can bust your ass for a couple hundred grand
    Em
But that ain't gonna make you rich
D                  G              A
You can get you a hammock you can swing on
                D
Between two palm trees
          G        Em          D
Señorita you can lean on's all you need


[Chorus]

But you can't drink all day
G                         Em
If you don't start in the morning'
       A              D
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
G                  Em         A
Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
D                          G
Well life's sweeter than a margarita
       Em             A
So you better get to pourin'
D
'Cause you can't drink all day
G                         Em
If you don't start in the mornin'
A                D.       G Em A D G Em A
Oh, start in the mornin'


[Bridge]
D               Em
The glass is half full the way I see it
A                  D
Drink, it's on the house
                   Em
You can take it or leave it
           A
Or pour it out


[Chorus]
D
But you can't drink all day
G                         Em
If you don't start in the mornin'
       A              D
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
G                  Em         A
Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
D                           G
Well, life's sweeter than a margarita
       Em             A
So you better get to pourin'
D
'Cause you can't drink all day
