[Intro]
Am  D  F  G
Am  D  F  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Am
I guess that I was born
D
With that nomad gene
        F
There's very little of this planet
G
That I have not seen
     Am
Everybody's on a soapbox
  D
Influencers and phones
F
TikTok Tommy Rock 'round the clock
        G
But I'm still thinkin' Rolling Stones
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    F
So, where'm I gonna go
         C
When the volcanos blow?
G
Everybody's askin'
        Am
All the time
      F
Contemplatin' Malpeque Bay
     C
Or a beach bar near Sagres
    G
I'm sure I'll find a way
     E7
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
 
 
[Chorus]
  F                    C
A pub in Portugal or PEI
                    G
Layin' low, stayin' high
G
I've got my good friends close
    Am
And trouble far away
F
Music on a beach
                C
Called "Singin' Sand"
                       G
No big deal, no master plan
                            E7  Am  D  F  G
We'll be all right, come Monday
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Am
I'll hopscotch 'cross the ocean
   D
On friendly archipelago
      F
Where women sing to Gaia
        G
And the marijuana grows
             Am
I'm thinkin' Garden of the Gulf
          D7
Where the Portuguese fished long ago
F
Speak a little Mig Mauw when I can
         G
And then Cavendish
G
Do the do-si-do
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Where'm I gonna go
         C
When the volcanos blow?
G
Everybody's askin'
        Am
All the time
      F
Contemplatin' Malpeque Bay
     C
Or a beach bar near Sagres
    G
I'm sure I'll find a way
     E7
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
 
 
[Chorus]
  F                    C
A pub in Portugal or PEI
                    G
Layin' low, stayin' high
G
I've got my good friends close
    Am
And trouble far away
F
Music on a beach
                C
Called "Singin' Sand"
                       G
No big deal, no master plan
                            E7
We'll be all right, come Monday
 
 
[Trumpet Solo]
Am  D7  F  G
Am  D7  F  G
 
 
[Bridge]
     Am
Everybody's on a soapbox
            D
And there's way too many phones
     F
Everybody's playin' TikTok Tommy Rock
    G
And I still love the Rolling Stones
    F
But life is always better
         C
When you add a little island
  G
A lot of oysters, love and wine
Am
Maybe a pub on PEI
     F
With somebody singin' in Portuguese
       C
On the sandbar, feel the ocean breeze
      G
Right now, that sounds real good to me
         E7
I really like those possibilities
 
 
[Outro]
     Am
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
D
Where'm I gonna go?
     F
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
G
Where'm I gonna go?
     Am
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
D
Where'm I gonna go?
     F
Till then, I'll be in the conga line
G
Where'm I gonna go?
Am
Where'm I gonna go?
