In the Shelter

By: Jimmy Buffett

1971

Intro:  A  E    A  E  

E              

    In the shelter

                                              A

    In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming

F#m  

    I heard her crying out,  "What is it all about?

      E                    A               E

    I just don't know, but I can't go back home"

E

    Lonely princess

                                                A

    All the days out on your own are growing empty

F#m

    Nothing is going well  

                                E

    If you could only tell them how you feel  

         A                  E

    But they're too real to understand

Chorus:

   A            

     Too many trite expressions

                                 E

     Ending in forced rejections long ago

   A    

     To many innocent faces

                                E

     In too many far out places somethings wrong

                          B

     Let me tell you that somethings wrong

                    A                       E

     It's been that way so long, and it's a shame

On the street car

To the city where she knows she may lose it all

Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time

And knowing well that this could be her final fall

Past the boutique

To the alley down the river, people pass her by

She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks

Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry

Chorus:

   A

     Too many wild rejections

                               E

     Endin' in angry questions from her dad

   A

     Too many T.V. dinners

                                      E

     Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost

     A                 E

     No one knows the trials she had

(Repeat first verse, then)

E                             A               E      A  E    A  E

Hell, I just don't know,  but I can't go back home               (fade)
