Songs You Know By Heart

Biografía:

El country, la literatura de Faulkner, el algodón… todo el sur ha influenciado a Jimmy Buffet. Y También James Taylor ¿por qué no?
El caribe ha lanzado muchos cuentos de traficantes de alcohol conocidos como “Rum-runners” (corredores de ron), piratas, vagabundos, prostitutas de puerto y los exiliados (algunos impuestos personalmente, otros no) del norte que han aparecido como el núcleo de historias y canciones. Pero lo cierto es que Jimmy

@SONG: Cheeseburger in Paradise
Cheeseburger in Paradise
By: Jimmy Buffett
1978
>From "Son of a Son of a Sailor"

Intro: ** Play "|" as strums or beats

Bm |||| A |
Bm |||| G |
Bm |||| A | D |

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 G
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
G A Bm
Some kind of sensuous treat
G D G D
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar 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:
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

** (Guitar Tacet throughout)
** 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:
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

Repeat intro
Repeat Guitar Tacet part (above)

@SONG: He Went To Paris
@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected])
He Went To Paris
By: Jimmy Buffett
1973
>From "A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean"

A
He went to Paris lookin' for answers
D A
To questions that bothered him so

He was impressive, young and aggressive
D E7
Savin' the world on his own

D
But the warm summer breezes
A
The French wines and cheeses
D E7
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
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country 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
And 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 most people say

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"

A
And he went to Paris lookin' for answers
D E7 A
To questions that bothered him so

Bb C F
She came down from Cincinnati
Bb C F
It took her three days on the train
Bb C F
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Bb C F
Hoped to see the sun again

Bb C F
But now she lives down by the ocean
Bb C F
She's takin' care to look for sharks
Bb C F
They hang out in the local bars
Bb C F
And they feed right after dark

Am7 Dm7
Can't you feel 'em circlin' honey?
Am7 Dm7
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
Bb C Bb C
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
Bb C F
And you're the only bait in town
Am7 Dm7 Am7 Dm7
Oh whoa, Oh whoa
Bb C Bb C
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
Bb C F
And you're the only bait in town

She's saving up all of her money
Wants to head it south in May
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
Somewhere down Montserrat way
But the money's good in the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She's gettin' postcards from the road

Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em closin' in honey?
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town

(harmonica solo)
Repeat Intro tab

Sailed off to Antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now she feels like a remora
'Cause the school's still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
Of the sharks that can swim on the land

Repeat first chorus
Repeat Intro tab and fade

@SONG: Margaritaville
@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected])
Margaritaville
By: Jimmy Buffett
1977
>From "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes"

D
Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake
A
All of those tourists covered with oil

Strummin' my six-string

On my front porch swing
D D7
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil

Chorus:
G A D D7
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G A D D7
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G A D A G
Some people claim that there's a wo-man to blame
A G D
But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

Solo (based on verse chords and chorus)

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know
It's my own damned fault

G A D A G
Yes and, some people claim that there's a wo-man to blame
A G D
And I know it's my own damned fault

@SONG: Son Of A Son Of A Sailor
@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected])
Son of a Son of a Sailor
By: Jimmy Buffett
1978
>From "Son of a Son of a Sailor"

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 I learned much from both of their styles

Chorus:
F C
Son of a son, son of a son
G
Son of a son of a sailor
F C
Son of a gun, load the last ton
C
One step ahead of the jailer

Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the Mango man
As he greets you at the boarder

And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices

F C
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
G
That our forefathers harnessed before us
F C
Hear the bells ring as the tide ringing sings
G
It's a son of a gun of a chorus

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
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

But the son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a 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
G
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

@SONG: Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
By: Jimmy Buffett
1977
>From "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes"

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

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

(Repeat Intro chords)

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

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
A F C G D A D
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

I just can't wait to see you again

And I just want you back by my side...

@SONG: Pirate Looks at Forty
@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected])
Pirate Looks at 40
By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
>From "A1A"

G
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
C D Am7 G
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
Am D Am7 G
You've seen it all, you've seen it all....

2)
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams

3)
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

4)
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

5)
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom again,
Just a few friends, just a few friends...

6)
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day
And I still can manage a smile.
It just takes a while, just takes a while

7)
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown....

I think I've got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm

But I know I should be leaving this climate
I've got a verse and can't rhyme it
I gotta go where it's warm

Boat drinks
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks
Then I'm heading south 'fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where it's warm [I gotta go where it's]
I gotta go where it's warm [I gotta go where it's]
I gotta go where it's WARM!

Pencil Thin Mustache
By: Jimmy Buffett

then I could solve some mysteries too

(same as above chords with this verse)
But then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge,
But all you want to do is learn how to score

D F#7 B7
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear

I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair

Chorus:
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind, a two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

Maybe suave Errol Flynn or a Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too

Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
