Buffett Jimmy - Six String Music guitar tab

Six String Music

From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_

By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith

1994

(intro: D chords)

D

Turn off the T.V.

D

Turn off the crap

D

Kick off your high heels

D

Climb up in my lap

Chorus:

Bm

And I'll play music

A D

A song from me to you

Bm

Simple six string music

A D

A ballad or the blues

No interruptions

From the telephone

Don't need call waitin'

Just you and me alone

Chorus:

And my six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

G D

Oh I remember that night in Africa

G D

My daughter and my little guitar

G D

Straddling the equator

G A

The king of Zanzibar

G D

Those shy black hidden faces

G D

They didn't know me from Adam's cat

Bm

But the words and the singin'

And the people in a ring

G Em A

And the whole night went like that

(instrumental: D chords)

Now some folks like icing

Some folks like cake

Some swim in the ocean

Some paddle in a lake

Well you can get into Beethoven

Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed

But keep it simple stupid

All we really need is

Chorus:

Six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

Six string music (six string music)

Ain't no symphony

It's just six string music (six string music)

So elementary
