REGGAE GUY

(Eric Stone)

I was feeling kinda stressed out so I went to see my shrink,

He said I think what you need is nice warm sun And some ice cold beer to drink

G D

So I bought myself a ticket on an Air Jamaica flight

I told the ranch I quit and I disappeared from sight

CHORUS:

G D G E A

And I became a reggae guy, no more cowboy boots or jeans There’s nothing like paradise in the Western Caribbean

G D A D

I became a reggae guy Now its knee long shorts and thongs I picked Buffett tunes and sand old Bob Marley songs

A calypso band was playing all those reggae hits

So I asked the boys if I could sit on in Cause I knew my songs would fit

G D

Well I cranked out country classics but the only difference is

A D

I sang Hank and Merle with a hot Jamaican twist

CHORUS:

G D E A

And I became a reggae guy now its island time for me I do believe paradise is where I’m meant to be

G D A D

I became a reggae guy what would Bob Marley say I bought a roundtrip ticket but I think I’m gonna stay

BRIDGE:

E A

Yeah, I sold my palace back in Dallas and bought myself a boat

F# B

Yeah I’ll be living large on that sailing barge if I can make the damn thing float

Now I’m getting used to the customs and I live the Rasta life

So I quit eating chicken fried steak now it’s jerk chicken and rice

G D

I even gave up my camels now I smoke the local brand

A D

But they smell kinda weird and I roll them all by hand

CHORUS:

G D G E A

And I became a reggae guy no more Miller Lite for me cause when you’re in paradise Red Stripe is all you drink

G D A

And I became a reggae guy but those cigs sure make me choke I think there’s something strange about them things I

smoke

REPEAT 1^st CHORUS

SPOKEN:

I think I’m gonna roll another one of those guys Mon What do you mean spliff? Whats spliff?

Jimmy knows, Bob knows I thought they was just cigarettes

I know it’s in a bag Illegal, What are you talkin’ about illegal?
