Jimmy Buffett - Pencil Thin Moustache guitar tab

From: mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu (Mike Hall)

Here it is. Got a lot more of these if anyone's interested. Be specific

though, don't just say, "hey send some more Buffett...". Me and some

other folks are currently working on a "Great Chords Compliation" of every

Buffett song ever released. The lyrics are already completed. You can

access via anonymous ftp to: ventura.cs.bsu.edu /pub/buffett/lyrics

Email me if you have any questions.

Pencil Thin Mustache

====================

By Jimmy Buffett

D F#7 B7

Now they make new movies in old black and white

E7 A7

With happy endings, where nobody fights

D F#7 B7

So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage

E7 A7

Honey, jump right up and show your age

Chorus:

D F#7 B7

I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

E7 A7 D

The "Boston Blackie" kind

D F#7 B7

A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket

E7 A7

And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

D D7

Oh I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny

G Bb

Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny

D F#7 B7

Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

E7 A7 D

Then I could solve some mysteries too

Em B7 Em B7

Oh it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast

Em B7 Em

Drinkin' on a fake I.D.

F#m C7 F#m C7

And Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana

E7 A7

But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana

D F#7 B7

Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

E7 A7 D

then I could solve some mysteries too

(same as above chords with this verse)

But then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel

Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)

Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge,

But all you want to do is learn how to score

D F#7 B7

Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear

E7 A7

I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair

D F#7 B7

But I can go to movies and see it all there

E7 A7 D

Just the way that it used to be

Chorus:

That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

The "Boston Blackie" kind, a two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket

And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be

Maybe suave Errol Flynn or a Sheik of Araby

If I only had a pencil thin mustache

Then I could do some cruisin' too

D

Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah

E7 A7 D

Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
