African Friend - Jimmy Buffett

*******************************

G C G

Disembarking at Duvalier Airport

D C G

Seeking transportation to town

G C G

As the purple ink dried on his passport

D C G

He could still feel the eyes look around

(Some French stuff) casino

Spoke to the cabbie and smiled

Driver replied vous o louvos

As he motioned the dark man inside

Bm C

CHORUS: Business in Aruba concluded

Am D Dsus4

He now had a little money to spend

C D G

That's how I came to meet my African friend

We were rolling the bones several hours

Conversing as most gamblers do

We were calling on all of our powers

Hoping to see the night through

But not approving at all of our winning,

Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve

Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning

When he motioned it's time we should leave

With our night at the tables behind us

We were ready just to do it again

That's when I came to know my African friend

INSTRUMENTAL

But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse

Soldier told me I better leave

As I stumbled to find me a taxi

I saw a note pinned to my sleeve

It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening

Truly was our night to win

But the authorities insist on my leaving

Take care, my American friend

With my weekend in Haiti concluded

I now had a little money to spend

That's how I came know my African Friend
