I’ve been up to my neck work in’ six days a week, wear in’ holes in the soles of the shoes on my feet.

Been na (Am7)dream in’ of (D7)get tin’ a way

Ain’t no (C)boss, bet ter time than now (C)stress, for Mex i co.

No shoes,

and no prob lems.

What blues?

Hey, I for (G)got ’em.

The (C)sun and the sand and a (D)drink in my hand

with no bot tom.

And no shoes,

and no shirt

and no prob lems,

Want a towel on a chair and the sand by the sea.

Wan na look through my shades and see you there with me.

Wan na (Am7)soak up of (D7)life for a while

(D7)in laid back (G6)mode.

No no (C)boss, bet no clock, no now (C)stress, for no dress code.

No shoes,

Hey, I for (G)got ’em.

The (C)sun and the sand and a (D)drink in my hand

with no bot tom.

And no shoes,

Want a towel lems.

Babe, let’s get packed, tank (D)tops and flip flops if you (G)got ’em.

But no shoes

and no shirt

and no prob lems,

no prob lems.
