[verse]
C
I’m living here in Banjo Bay,
E7
I don’t have a lot to say,
Am E7
Living here day to day for me.
C
The sun keeps burning me brown,
E7
I don’t need a ride into town,
Am E7
Got a note from home just yesterday.
C
The palm trees keep sinking in the sand,
E7
Come on lend me a hand,
Am E7
I need help to gather in the sun.
C
I live on coconut and banana,
E7
The beach my home the sea my veranda,
Am E7
I have my stash, papers and a light.
Am E7 Am
It’s all right on Banjo Bay.
[BRIDGE]
Dm Am
There’s only one thing I’ve wanted,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that I need,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that’s haunting me,
E7 Am
To have someone, here with me.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay.
[verse]
C
I went to see the old beach doctor,
E7
He said, “Son you hadn’t oughta,
Am E7
Sleep alone it makes you mean and old.”
C
He sent over his only daughter,
E7
She’s sweet like coconut butter,
Am E7
She’s all I need to get me through my life.
Am E7 Am
It’s all right on Banjo Bay.
[BRIDGE]
Dm Am
There’s only one thing I’ve wanted,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that I need,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that’s haunting me,
E7 Am
To have someone, here with me.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay.
[Solo verse]

Dm Am
There’s only one thing I’ve wanted,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that I need,
Dm Am
There’s only one thing that’s haunting me,
E7 Am
To have someone, here with me.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay.
[verse]
C
Don’t have a job I don’t have money,
E7
She calls me man and I call her honey,
Am E7
She’s all I need to get me through my life.
C
Don’t have a care I don’t have a worry,
E7
She says man you can die if you hurry,
Am E7
She’s all I need to get me through my life,
Am E7 Am
It’s all right, on Banjo Bay.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay.
E7 Am
On Banjo Bay. . . .
