Intro: Em 

Verse: 
         Em                            A 
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean 
         F                              G   G Bm 
Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore 

         Em               G 
Well, today it's San Francisco 
       A 
And tomorrow it's L.A. 
       F                                   G   G 
And I feel as though I've been this way before 


Verse: 
        Em                              A 
Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin' 
        F                                   G   G 
But my manager he stands right outside the door 

Bm              Em 
Yes, there's an up 'n' comin' superstar 
          A 
And he's gettin' rave revues 
           F                            C   C 
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore 

 
C                                  Em 
 I never thought that things would go this far 
C                                Em 
 I never thought that life would be this way 
C                          Em 
 I never thought I'd be a superstar 

     Dm 
And Jesus Christ 
   Em 
I wish that I 
     F 
Was back in Oyster Bay 
           F   Bb     F     C  F  C  F  B 
Takin' it easy... Oh yeah... 



Verse: 
B              Em                                    A 
  But there's lots of friendly folks that say 'good morning' 
         F                                        G    G Bm 
But somehow you know I just don't believe their smiles 

       Em 
I'd be New York City bound 
              A 
Where I could be among my friends 
         F                                 G    G 
But the road back home it seems a million miles 


Verse: 
      Em                             A 
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me 
         F                                      G    G 
But somehow they just don't move me like they should 
   Bm        Em 
I know it's hard to understand 
            A 
But I would be a fisherman 
     F 
If I only had the chance, 
             C   C 
You know I would 

 
C                                  Em 
 I never thought that things would go this far 
C                             Em 
 I never thought that I'd be here today 
C                          Em 
 I never thought I'd be a superstar 

         Dm 
Oh, and Jesus Christ 
   Em 
I wish that I 
     F 
Was back in Oyster Bay 
           F   Bb     F     C  F  C  F  Gm  F 
Takin' it easy... Oh yeah...

Be with my wife all day, happy to be that way 
 C                   G      Bb                    F 
Wanting it back sometimes, wanting some peace of mind
