Jimmy Buffett - Jolly Mon guitar chord

Jolly Mon

Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley

Intro:

D A7 D A7 D

D

There is a tale that the island people tell

A7 D

Don't know if it is true but I love it so well

Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night

A7 D

People fed him well 'cause he treated 'em so right

CHORUS:

G F#m Em A D

Whoa whoa whoa, Jolly Mon sing

G F#m Em A D

Whoa whoa whoa, make Orion ring

Well he always like to go to the islands near and far

He always found his way by Orion, lucky star

He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes

They'd love to see him come and they'd hate to see him go

CHORUS

He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night

When he heard a cry for help and he saw the passing light

When he reached the other boat, offered them a hand

They said give us all your cargo as they took a pirate

stand

CHORUS

Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well

They tossed him in the ocean 'cause their hearts were made

in hell

Came along a dolphin, he said Jolly Mon, hello

I've always loved your singin' climb on board,

don't let go

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye

They swam into the heavens and they stayed up in the sky

And all the island people when they wish upon a star

See the dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they

are
