The Great Filling Station Holdup
================================
By Jimmy Buffett

Intro: G D A D

D
I pulled into the regular pump
G D
I was feelin' quite at ease
E A
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"
G D
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
D D A D
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"

Chorus:
G A D
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
Cause that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years

D
We got fifteen dollars
G D
And a can of STP
E A
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
G D
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
D D
We're wanted men, we'll strike again,
A D
But first let's have a beer

G A D
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
Cause that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years

D
We were sittin' in the Krystal
G D
About as drunk as we could be
G
In walked the deputy sheriff
E A
And he's holdin' our TV
G D
He roughed us and he cuffed us
D G
And he took us off to jail
D A D
No picture on a poster, no reward and no bail

(repeat chorus and fade)
G A D
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
G A E A
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
G A D
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here
G D
Cause that great fillin' station holdup
A D
Cost me two good years
