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

Chorus: G There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street D Stoppin' every man that she does meet C Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet AmG I'll show you my place on Caroline Street
GDC She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer GDC But I don't think she's cut a rug in years GDC Listens to the jukebox for her answers GDC Slowly guzzles twenty-five cent beers
Talks about the men she's known and then some She's seen them in her dreams and on the street She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table As if to reveal some kind of treat
(Repeat chorus)
Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica Just right now she can't recall his name Perceiving she's the center of attention And all the lurking eyes they look the same
Weather's got the shrimpers in a frenzy They're horny and don't need a good excuse Someone yells and things just start erupting And in a flash all hell has broken loose
(Repeat chorus) (guitar solo)
When I woke up and looked around the barroom She was gone and I was black and blue So be careful when you go to swing your partner Someone just might take a swing at you
@SONG: My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus By: Jimmy Buffett 1975
Intro: EmA7DGEmA7DG
Chorus: GA7CG My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus A7 It's that kind of mornin' CD Really was that kind of night CGB7Em Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin' A7CDG And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night
D Went down to the snake pit G To drink a little beer D Listen to the jukebox G Merle was comin' in clear Em All of a sudden I wasn't alone A7 Pickin' country music with ol' Joe Bones D Duval Street was rockin'

Chorus: And now my head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus It's that kinda mornin' Really was that kinda night Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin' And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night
Gotta get a little orange juice And a Darvon for my head I can't spend all day Baby layin' in the bed I'm goin' down to Fausto's get some chocolate milk Can't spend my life in yer sheets of silk I've got to find my way Crawl out and greet the day
Chorus: But now my head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus It's that kinda mornin' Really was that kinda night Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin' And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night CDG Let me tell ya, I be roarin' Friday night CDG I mean I'll be roarin' Friday night
@SONG: The Captain and The Kid @CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected]) The Captain and The Kid By: Jimmy Buffett 1970
DG I never used to miss the chance DG To climb upon his knee DG And listen to the many tales E7A Of life upon the sea F#mG We'd go sailing back on barkentines F#mG And talk of things he did F#mG Tomorrow's just a day away E7AD For the captain and the kid
His world had gone from sailing ships To raking mom's back yard He never could adjust to land Although he tried so hard We both were growing older then And wiser with our years That's when I came to understand The course his heart still steers
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 The place he ought to be With one hand on the starboard rail He's waving back at me
(Repeat first verse) E7AD For the captain and this kid
@SONG: Big Rig @CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected]) Big Rig By: Greg Taylor 1975
E If I was a road dog baby
And all a' my songs were true
Reckon I'd like my whiskey drinkin'
A whole lot more than I do A But I don't know about the good life baby
Not so sure it's for me E I'd much rather be home rollin' with you
Than watchin' Tom Snyder on TV
Chorus: EA I wish I was a big rig E Rollin' on home to you A I wish I was a big rig B A big rig baby AE Rollin' on home to you
Now I been to lots a' parties Spent my whole life in a bar There's a whole lotta good lookin' women out there Who think I am a star
Drinkin' and a snortin' Ain't really where I am If I had my own two ways I'd be rollin' home to Alabam'
I wish I was a big rig Rollin' on home to you I wish I was a big rig A big rig baby Rollin' on home to you
Spoken: "Ah, go Fingers, yeah!"
Now some day I'll be better My ramblin' days'll be through I won't have any more gigs to play I'll be back home there with you
But meanwhile, wait a minute What's that thing I see It's a good lookin' blonde with a bottle of scotch And she wants to go home with me
Chorus: She's lookin' like a big rig Rollin' on home to you I wish I was a big rig A big rig baby Rollin' on home to you
Yeah I wish I was a big rig Rollin' on home to you Wish I was a big rig A big rig baby Rollin' on home to you
Spoken: "Yeah I'll be home in a few days baby" "Have I been good?" "I've been GREAT!" "Whoa!" --------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Defying Gravity @CHORDS: Sean Costello ([email protected]) Defying Gravity By: Jimmy Buffett 1976
Intro: EB7E EB7 I live on a big, round ball E I never do dream I may fall B7 And even one day if I do E Well, I'll jump up and smile back at you
I don't even know where we are They tell me we're circlin' a star Well I'll take their word, I don't know But I'm dizzy so it may be so
(INSTRUMENTAL)
I'm riding a big, round ball I never do dream I may fall And even the high must lay low But when I do fall, I will be glad to go Yes, when I do fall I will be glad to go
*The intro and first part of the verses can be done *by moving an A fingering up to the 7th and 9th frets * See notes below...
Intro: ADED
ADED Stashed his trash in Ecua-dor ADEA Bought a good suit of clothes
ADEDADEA Flew on up to Mexi-co, standin' by the shore D Waitin' for some mystery man to pay him for his time
But thinkin' 'bout all the money he'd made A Couldn't help to ease his mind EDADED Havana daydreamin', boy he's just dreamin' his life away
Daddy chopped that sugarcane One day he fell dead Jesus had a wanderin' feelin' Swimmin' around in his head Sailin' on a midnight boat, There were no questions asked Water's so green and the air was so clean He just stuck right to his task Havana daydreamin', oh he's just schemin' His life away
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Ceiling fan stirs the air Cigar smoke did swirl Fragrance on the pillowcase And he thinks about the girl Spillin' wine and sharin' good times She sure could make him smile He pays her well, but what the hell He'll be movin' in a little while Havana daydreamin', oh he'll be dreamin' His life away
@SONG: Cliches @CHORDS: Mike A. Hall ([email protected]) Cliches By: Jimmy Buffett 1975
E She's got a ballpark figure AE He's got a ballpoint pen AE They travel around for weeks at a time BAB Writin' down descriptions of the places they been E She plays guitar but nothin' fancy AE With no intention of becomin' a star AE Only thing that's botherin' him these days BAB Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar
Chorus: AE Cli-ches AE Good ways B To say what you mean E Mean what you say
She never did make her debut He never made it to class She's eighty-sixed from the Chart Room He's twenty nine and pushin' thirty real fast
They're funny when they get to rockin' Goin' out for a night on the town Takin' Polaroid pictures that are never in focus Just to look at when they finally slow down
Chorus: Full moon So soon Wishin' every month of the year could be June
He's always tuned into Star Trek She's always tuned into him Hidin' his cookies when he gets the munchies Tryin' hard just to keep the boy slim
Tonight they're gonna go star gazin' An' try to figure out which one they're near But try as they might I don't think they'll reach the height You know you can't get there from here
Chorus: Full moon So soon Wishin' every month of the year could be June
Cliches Good ways To say what you mean Mean what you say To say what you mean Mean what you say
@SONG: Something So Feminine About A Mandolin Something So Feminine About A Mandolin By: Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol Buffett 1975
EAE It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin' AEABEB But the lady she played so easy and fine EAE And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever F#mAbmF#mEm They planted this song in my mind
Chorus: AE 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin AEABEB The way that they feel, the way that they ring EA Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly F#mAbmF#mE Made this boy want to sing
And when I get older and I have a daughter I'll teach her to sing and play her my songs And I'll tell her some stories I can barely remember And hope that she will sing along
And maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin' 'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting And if she could just strum a few simple measures She could make some young man sing
'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin Way that they feel, the way that they ring And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin That mandolin made me sing
@SONG: Kick It In Second Wind Kick It In Second Wind By: Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol
E7 One o'clock in mornin' AE7 People pilin' in thru the door A7E Drinks are still comin' and I'm barely hummin' DB7 And the audience is screamin' for more
Somebody's locked in the bathroom Manager can't find the key I pay that man but from where I stand It's lookin' like the prisoner is me
Chorus: AE So won'tcha kick it in now second wind D We got two more hours to go AE Is there any more hope of scorin' any more coke B7A And we still gotta do another show
My mind started to wander In the middle of my second song Dreamin' I was at sea just my baby and me When the words started comin' out wrong
Waitresses are pickin' up glasses The bartenders scream last call When I looked to my right I saw a terrible sight As the bass man took a bad fall
Chorus: So won'tcha kick it in now second wind We got two more hours to go Losin' any more hope of scorin' any more coke And we still gotta do another show
(Organ instrumental)
It's three o'clock in the mornin' Runnin' on adrenalin What I'm tryin' to say is that tomorrow's today And we got to do it over again
Chorus: So won'tcha kick it in now second wind We got two more hours to go Losin' any more hope of scorin' any more coke And we still gotta do another show
Coda: E Got to do another show DAE I got to, do another show DAE Got to, do another show DAE Got to, do another show,...
@SONG: This Hotel Room @CHORDS: Sean Costello ([email protected]) This Hotel Room By: Jimmy Buffett 1976
C This hotel room's got a lot of stuff GC A laundry bag and a shoeshine cloth
Thirty-two hangers and a touchtone phone GC With a light that comes on when I ain't home FC I ain't home, I ain't home GC You better leave a message, 'cause I ain't home
Break: FCGC
They got an air conditioner for when I'm hot A radiator for when I'm not Two big chairs sittin' side-by-side With a Holy Bible and a TV Guide TV Guide, TV Guide, great God almighty, it's a TV Guide
I got a second-story view from curb to curb I got a sign that reads, "Do Not Disturb" A monogrammed towel and bucket of ice A chest of drawers and mirror that lies Mirror that lies, mirror that lies That couldn't be me in the gorilla disguise
They got a room service menu for food and drink A porcelain throne and an aluminium sink Two big pillows to rest my head A Magic Fingers and a king-sized bed Put in a quarter, turn out the light Magic Fingers makes you feel alright Feel alright, feel alright Magic Fingers makes you feel alright
This old hotel's alright with me They pay the postage if you lose the key This hotel room's got a lot of stuff But I do believe I've had enough Call my baby said don't you pout I'm packin' my bags and I'm checkin' out Just as soon as you hang up the telephone Stick a candle in the window, I'm comin' home Comin' home, comin' home Stick a candle in the window I'm comin' home
Whoa, comin' home, comin' home Stick a candle in the window I'm comin' home
