   I'm finally starting to type up the chords for the songs on Jimmy

Buffett's _Songs You Know By Heart_.  I'm trying to do this at work,

so it will take a while.  Anyway, here's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" :

   G              A         D

Tried to a-mend my car-   nivorous  hab-its

           Made it nearly seventy days

losin'     weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds

E   A

drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays.  But at

     G       A         D         G            A

night I'd have these won-derful dreams, some kind of sensuous treat.

Bm        G D    G      D

   Not zuc-chini, fettu-cini or bul-gar wheat, but a big

  G D    A             D

   warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.

Chorus:   G           A                D

  Cheese-     burger in        paradise

          Heaven on   earth with an on-ion slice

  Not too par-ticular, not     too precise, I'm just a

  cheese-burger in para-dise

Additional lyrics:

Heard about the old-time sailor men

They eat the same thing again and again

Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead

Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn.

But times have changed for sailors these days

When I'm in port I get what I need.

Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris

But that American creation on which I feed.

(chorus)

I like mine with lettuce and tomato        \

Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes \__    GUITAR

Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer /    TACET HERE

Well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer for my   /

(chorus)
