[VERSE 1]
C Am
And I remember Florida
F G
The land of endless malls
C Am
Images of Elvis flicks
F G
Convertibles and blondes
C Am
And I remember cryin’
F G
As you walked away along the shore
F G C G
The last words I heard you say were what a bore
[VERSE 2]
C Am
And I remember drinking
F G
In those air-conditioned bars
C Am F
Putting all my quarters in a juke-box
G
With big silver stars
C Am
And I remember Nat King Cole
F G
Singing a song about the rain
F G G G/B Am
Oh I'm feeling blue again----------
F G C C7
Oh yea I'm feeling blue again----
[CHORUS]
F G C G/B Am
And it was just like a vacation
F G C G/B Am
And I'm sure we had us some fun
F G C G/B Am
It was just like a vacation
F G C
And I swear we even sat out in the sun
[KEYBOARD SOLO and GUITAR SOLO]
[VERSE 3]
C Am
You see my mother owned a trailer home
F G
On west Broward past A1A
C
And to beat the north wind
Am
We took a spin
F G
To that tin can by the sea
C
Well I thought she was mine
Am
But she was just passing time
F G
She even passed out of town in my car
F G
And left me with Nat King Cole
C G/B Am
And the silver stars
F G C
Whoa, Nat King Cole and the silver stars
[CHORUS]
F G C G/B Am
And it was just like a vacation
F G C G/B Am
And I'm sure we had us some fun
F G C G/B Am
It was just like a vacation
F G
And I swear we even sat out
F G
Yea I swear we even sat out
F G C Am
Yea I swear we even sat out in the sun----
C Am
In the sun----
C Am
In the sun----
C
In the sun
