   G                          C        D           G
He worked hard all year, just wanted a few weeks alone
                                      C         D          G 
But his old lady’s into modelin’ she can’t get away from a phone
            C         D           G 
Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes
          C                   D          G 
She says, down there there is nothing to do
    C             D             G 
Her goddamn phone never stops a ringin’
              C            D         G 
He’ll try the service in a day maybe two 


          G                             C             D 
Well he’s on his third drink before the wheels of the plane 
       	         G 
       leave the ground
                                  C         D           G 
Makin’ points with the stewardess high over Long Island Sound
           C             D           G 
She’s also spending some time on the island
         C            D             G 
Too much city madness gives her the blues
            C          D           G         
They make a date to go dancin’ and dinin’
         C           D            G
It seems neither has that much to lose
 

Chorus 1: 
    G                 C             G
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
                                 F          D 
My thoughts aren’t too clear but don’t run away
   G                       C          G 
My girlfriend’s a bore, my job is too dutiful
     C        G             F           D 
Hell nobody’s perfect would you like to play? 
                  G 
I feel together today


         G                          C             D       G
Well now that’s just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge
                                   C                      G 
Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to cringe
    C           D           G 
His lawyers are calling his parents
    C                  D            G 
His girlfriend doesn’t know what to think
    C            D              G 
His partners are studying their options
       C           D        G 
He’s just singin’ and orderin’ drinks 


Chorus 2: 

The weather is here I wish you were beautiful 
The skies are too clear life’s so easy today 
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri’s too fruitiful 
No place like home when you’re this far away 
I don’t care what they say (I don’t care)


           G                        C          D        G
He’s goin’ back to New York pack it up and let everyone know
                                     C           D          G 
It was something that he should have done such a long time ago
              C           D           G 
Still time to start a new life in the palm trees
    C           D         G 
Ah, Billy Clyde wasn’t insane
          C            D                  G      C 
And if it doesn’t work out there’ll never be any doubt
                      D             G 
That the pleasure was worth all the pain 


Chorus 3: 

The weather is here I wish you were beautiful 
The skies are too clear life’s so easy today 
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri’s too fruitiful 
No place like home when you’re this far away 
I need time for to play
