Verse:
Gm F
I wanna get on my bike and ride that red dirt road
Eb F
From the cane fields to the shore
Gm F
I wanna skip stones with my cousins
Eb F
As the ahi skim the ocean floor
Pre-Chorus:
Cm F Bb
And as the sun goes down and the moon goes up, I can see the stars (see the stars)
Cm
As we sit by that fire beneath our shack
Eb F
And jam our guitars
Chorus:
Bb
This is the life, the life I was given
Cm
This is the life, I love country living
Bb Cm
This is the life, The life meant for me and you
So I hope you’re here to live it too

Bridge/Pre-Chorus:
Cm
Take the time to unwind
Bb
And let the island sooth your soul
Cm
Feel the music everywhere
Bb
And let aloha take control
Cm
Cause I can see the pain in your eyes
Bb
From the pressure of today
Cm
Open your eyes, we’re in paradise
Eb F
And throw them all away
Chorus:
Bb
This is the life, the life I was given
Cm
This is the life, I love country living
Bb Cm
This is the life, The life meant for me and you
So I hope you’re here to live it too
