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)
