Intro: C Am F G (x4)

C Am

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 crying

F G

As you walked away along the shore

F G C G

The last words I heard you say were what a bore

And I remember drinking

In those air-conditioned bars

Putting all my quarters in a jukebox

With big silver stars

And I remember Nat King Cole

Singing a song about the rain

F G C C/B Am

Oh I'm feeling blue again

F G C C7

Oh I'm feeling blue again

F G C C/B Am

And it was just like a vacation

F G C C/B Am

Yea I'm sure we had us some fun

F G C C/B Am

Yea it was just like a vacation

F G C G

And I swear we even sat out in the sun

INSTRUMENTAL (1ST VERSE CHORDS)

You see my mother owned a trailer home

On West Broward past A1A

And to beat the North wind

We took a spin

To that tin can by the sea

Well I thought she was mine

But she was just passing time

She even passed out of town in my car

And left me with Nat King Cole

And the silver stars

Nat King Cole and the silver stars

And it was just like a vacation

Yea I'm sure we had us some fun

Yea it was just like a vacation

F G

And I swear we even sat out

F G

Yeah I swear we even sat out

F G C Am

Yeah I swear we even sat out in the sun

C Am C Am

In the sun, in the sun

C

In the sun
