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,

G A D

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

Made it nearly seventy days

losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds

Bm G D G D

Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris

But that American creation on which I feed.

(chorus)

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 /
