Any time of day.

Just to drive down there and visit

Not to worry

Not too bad

Nothin much to do

When you?re waiting for a car to drive by

 Headed up to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend show. 
 Yes it's been quite a summer. Rent-a -cars and west bound trains.
 I hope you're enjoying the scenery, I know it's pretty up there.

 I've got my hushpuppies on, I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll.
 And now you're off on vacation, something you tried to explain.
 We can go hiking on Tuesday, with you I'd walk anywhere.
F/D               F                      G
 And, Honey I didn't know that I'd be missing you so.
 And, Darling it's I love you so, that's the reason I just let yo go.
 California has worn me quite thin, I just can't wait till I see you again.

Margaritaville

G
As the son of a son of a sailor

       F          C         G
I went out on the sea for adventure

 C                           G
Expanding the view of the captain and crew

       D                        G
Like a man just released from indenture

 G
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man

         F         C      G
I have chalked up many a mile

      C                      G
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks

      D                              G
And learned much from both of their styles

 F             C                                G
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

 F              C
Son of a gun, load the last ton

 C                      G
One step ahead of the jailer

 G                             F      C      G
Now way in the near future, southeast of disorder

You can shake the hand of the mango man

        D                G
As he greets you at the border

 G                   
And the lady she hails from Trinidad

 F      C       G
Island of the spices

 C                        G
Salt for your meat, and cinnamon sweet

         D                        G
And the rum is for all your good vices

 F                       C                                               G
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our forefather harnessed before us

 F                         C
Hear the bell ring as the tide rigging sings

 C                          G
It's the son of a gun of a chorus

 G 
Where it all ends, I can't fathom my friends

If I knew I might toss out my anchor

So I'll cruise along always searching for songs

        D                  G
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

       F             C                               G
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

 F             C
Son of a gun, load the last ton

 C                     G
One step ahead of the jailer

              F             C                               G
I'm just the son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor

    F                        C
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains

          C                      G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

Intro:  G   D   A  G D

D                 G                    
I took off for a weekend last month 
        A                      D
Just to try and recall the whole year
                     G                
All of the faces and all of the places 
     A                      D
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
Bm                  F#m          
I didn't ponder the question too long 
      G                       A
I was hungry and went out for a bite
     G                 D             
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum 
       A                    D
and we wound up drinkin' all night


(Chorus)
           G                     D
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
 A                        D
Nothing remains quite the same
     G                      D
With all of our running and all of our cunning 
    A                         G      D
if we couldn't laugh we would all go insane


Reading departure signs in some big airport 
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure 
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches 
I've seen more than I can recall

(2nd Chorus:)  
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands 
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean 
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me 
And I know that I just can't go wrong



(3rd Chorus:)
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning 
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes

	  G          A	      D
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
G              A       D
Made it nearly seventy days
         G             A           D
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
E				  A
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
       G	 A          D	      
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
G             A      Bm
Some kind of sensuous treat
       G         D           G	    D
Not zucchini, fettuccini or bulgur wheat
      G        D          A            D
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat




Chorus:
     G   A       D
     Cheeseburger in paradise
     G         A             D
     Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
     G        A          D
     Not too particular, not too precise
                G     D         A    D
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn

But times change, sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Chorus 2:
     Cheeseburger in Paradise
     Medium rare with mustard be nice
     Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

    (Muted)
    I like mine with lettuce and tomato
    Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
    Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
    Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my

Chorus 3:
     Cheeseburger in Paradise
     Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
     Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a
     Cheeseburger in Paradise
     I need a Cheeseburger in Paradise
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

Cheeseburger In Paradise

A				         D			    A
He went to Paris looking for answers to questions that bothered him so.
A					 D			 E7
He was impressive, young and aggressive, savin' the world on his own.
        D			 A			 D                   E7
But the warm summer breezes, the French wine and cheeses put his ambition at bay
    A
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
    D           E7             A
And four or five years slipped away.


Then he went to England, played the piano, and married an Actress named Kim.
They had a fine life, she was a good wife and bore him a young son named Jim.
And all of the answers and all of the questions he locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean county livin'
And twenty more years slipped away.

Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady, and left him with only one eye.
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered, all he could do was just cry.
While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin' answers he never found.
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound.

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's and drinks his Green Label each day.
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin', but he don't care what people say.
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion, if he likes you he'll smile, then he'll say
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic,
But I had a good life all the way."
    A                                      D       E7
And he went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions that
             A
bothered him so.

Your voice sounds so wonderful, but your face don't look too clear
   G                        D
So barmaid bring a pitcher, another round o' brew

     I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you
         G
     They say you are a snow queen
           D
     Honey I don't think that's true
          G           A             D
     So,  why don't we get drunk and screw

Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go...

Chorus:
     Why don't we get drunk and screw?
     I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you.
     They say you are a snow queen,
     Honey I don't think that's true.
     So, why don't we get drunk and screw?
     Yeah, now baby I say, Lord!
     Why don't we get drunk and screw

Tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the kid

He died about a month ago while winter filled the air 
And though I cried I was so proud to love a man so rare 
He's somewhere on the ocean now that place he oughta be 
With one hand on the starboard rail he's wavin' back at me 

I never used to miss the chance to climb up on his knee 
And listen to the many tales of life upon the sea 
We'd go sailing back on Barkentines and talk of things he did 
The world was just a day away for the Captain and the kid

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C

1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
