FLORIDAYS

By Jimmy Buffett

Note : This is a pretty accurate translation on my part although

I'm not so sure about the A minors. The chords are on the

top of the lyrics.

(Intro)

G C G C

G C G C

G Am D

I come from where the rivers meet the sea

G Am D

That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free

NC Am.......... // C

I was early into crazy ways,

// D

my folks said it's just a phase

G C G C

They were hoping for better days

Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most

Write em down and pass em around its the gospel from the coast

Reflections not just replays

Taking time to escape the maze

G C D C G

Lookin for better days

Spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in ole Beirut

Seems like all their aimin for there is to hang around and shoot

Each others lives away

Bloody winds on a distant bay

G

They're lookin for better days

F C F C

Lookin to the left, lookin' to the right

F Am C

Looking to the stars to shed some light

F C F C

Hopin for a breath, hopin for a break

F Am C D

Hopin for the give without the take

The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show

Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big

jets go

Streakin through the morning haze

Focal point of a distant gaze

G C G C

Lookin for better days

INSTRUMENTAL

F C F C

F Am C

F C F C

F Am C D

Pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun

On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1

I'm back to live in Floridays

Blue skies and ultra violet rays

G

Lookin for better days

Am // C

I'm back to live in Floridays

// D

Blue skies and ultra violet rays

G C G C

Lookin for better days, lookin for better days

G C G C

Lookin for better days, lookin for Floridays

pause....

Am G C

Bet - ter days,

Am G C

bet - ter days (everybody's lookin for)

Am G C

Bet - ter days (somewhere beneath the shining star)

Am G C

Bet - ter days (take me won't you take me to)

Am G C

Bet - ter days (sure could use a few)

Am G C

Bet - ter days
