Buffett Jimmy - Delaney Talks To Statues guitar tab

Artist: Jimmy Buffett

Song Title: Delaney Talks to statues

Album Title: Fruitcakes

Verse 1

A E B E

Delaney talks to statues

A B E

As she dances 'round the pool

A E B E

She chases cats through roman ruins

A B E

And stomps on big toadstools

A E B E

She speaks a language all her own

A E B E

That I cannot discover

A E B E

But she knows I love her so

A E B E

When I tuck her 'neath the covers

CHORUS

A E B E

Father, daughter

A E B E

Down by the water

A E B E

Shells sink, dreams float

A E B E

Life's good on our boat

Verse 2 (same as 1)

Delaney draws me pictures

She finger paints the sand

We chase the dogs and hop like frogs

Then I do my bad handstand

She's growing up too fast for me

And asking lots of questions

Some I know the answers to

And some I'm looking for suggestions

CHORUS 2 (same as 1)

Father, daughter

Born by the water

Surf's up, sun's down

Life in a beach town

BRIDGE

C#m G#m

And some of the things I've seen

Bm A

Maybe she won't have to see

C#m G#m

But there's a lot I want to pass along

D A

That was handed down to me

Verse 3 (same)

Delaney talks to statues

As she dances 'round the pool

She chases cats through Roman ruins

And stomps on big toadstools

She speaks a language all her own

Just a little like her mother

And she knows I love her so

When I tuck her 'neath the covers

Chorus 3 (same)

Father, daughter

Down by the water

Shells sink, dreams float

Life's good on our boat
