Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Gulf Shores, Alabama, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."
Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list.

DG Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
D A For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
DG
Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
DAGD We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters
BmD Just for starters, barometer is my soup
BmD I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop
ADAD I travel on the songlines that only dreamers see
GA Not known for predictibility
DG Come and follow in our wake, you've not that much at stake
D
A
For we have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
DG Come along let's hae some fun, it seems our work is done
DAGD We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters
BmD Sail the main course, in a simple sturdy craft
BmD Keep it well stocked with short stories and long laughs
ADAD Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see
GA Moderation seems to be the key
ABm Constantly searchin, oh my eyes have seen some horizons
ABm And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills
AG No I'm not the first, won't be the last
DA You lust for the future but treasure the past
DG Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
D A For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
DG Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
DAGD We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
DAGD We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
DAGD We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
This is the best I could come up with. Any corrections are welcome!
