@ALBUM: Havana Daydreamin'

@SONG: Woman Goin' Crazy On Caroline Street

Woman Goin' Crazy On Caroline Street

By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman

1975

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

                                   Am   G

     I'll show you my place on Caroline Street

    G                 D             C

She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer

    G                   D            C

But I don't think she's cut a rug in years

G              D               C

Listens to the jukebox for her answers

G             D                C

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

(Repeat chorus twice and fade)

Crawl out and greet the day

@SONG: The Captain and The Kid

@CHORDS: Mike A. Hall (mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu)

The Captain and The Kid

By: Jimmy Buffett

1970

D                  G

   I never used to miss the chance

D                    G

   To climb upon his knee

D                    G  

   And listen to the many tales

E7                  A

   Of life upon the sea

F#m                        G  

   We'd go sailing back on barkentines  

F#m                      G

   And talk of things he did

F#m                  G

   Tomorrow's just a day away

           E7     A         D

   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)

        E7       A           D  

For the captain     and this kid

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:

     E              A

     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

     A                 E

     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 (costells@guvax.georgetown.edu)

Defying Gravity

By: Jimmy Buffett

1976

Intro:  E  B7   E

  E                    B7

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

@SONG: Havana Daydreamin'

@CHORDS: (costells@guvax.georgetown.edu)/(mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu)

Havana Daydreamin'

By: Jimmy Buffett

1975

    *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:  A  D  E  D

A           D        E    D    

Stashed his trash in Ecua-dor

A             D        E      A

Bought a good suit of clothes

A      D      E    D   A         D       E     A  

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

          E                       D                  A   D  E  D  

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 (mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu)

Cliches

By: Jimmy Buffett

1975

E

She's got a ballpark figure

A                    E

He's got a ballpoint pen

     A                 E  

They travel around for weeks at a time

B                                A           B

Writin' down descriptions of the places they been

E  

She plays guitar but nothin' fancy

A                               E

With no intention of becomin' a star

A                           E

Only thing that's botherin' him these days

   B                            A        B

Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar

Chorus:

     A   E

     Cli-ches

     A    E

     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

E                                  A         E

It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin'

        A        E         A        B    E  B

But the lady she played so easy and fine

         E                                A          E

And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever

     F#m          Abm     F#m  Em

They planted this song in my   mind

Chorus:

                                          A       E

     'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin

         A             E         A             B    E  B

     The way that they feel, the way that they ring

             E                    A  

     Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly

     F#m       Abm      F#m  E

     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

Her 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'

A                         E7

People pilin' in thru the door

A7                          E

Drinks are still comin' and I'm barely hummin'

          D                       B7

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:

                 A              E  

     So won'tcha kick it in now second wind

                               D

     We got two more hours to go

              A                        E

     Is there any more hope of scorin' any more coke

            B7                     A

     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

D          A            E

I got to,   do another show

D        A            E

Got to,   do another show

D        A            E

Got to,   do another show,...

@SONG: This Hotel Room

@CHORDS: Sean Costello (costells@guvax.georgetown.edu)

This Hotel Room

By: Jimmy Buffett

1976

     C

This hotel room's got a lot of stuff

                    G         C

A laundry bag and a shoeshine cloth

Thirty-two hangers and a touchtone phone

                                G       C

With a light that comes on when I ain't home

F             C

I ain't home, I ain't home

                                   G       C

You better leave a message, 'cause I ain't home

Break:  F C   G C

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

Spoken: "Thank you boys"
