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)
