Buffett Jimmy

Buffett Jimmy - Landfall guitar tab

Intro: G A C G G A C G

G A C G G A C G

G A C G

Now what would they do if I just sailed away

G A C G

Who the hell really compelled me to leave today

G A C G

Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball

G A C G

What would they do if I made no landfall

I lived half my life in an eight by five room

Just crusin' to the sound of the big diesel boom

It's not close quarters that would make me snap

It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap

Chorus: (see below for notes on "Run")

"Run" E A G

Sail away, for a month at a time

"Run" E A G

Sail away, I've got to restart my mind

A Gb G

And you'll find me back at it a - gain

Now I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light

What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night

The mid-morning watch is the best time to look

Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years

Some days were laughter and others were tears

If I had it all to do over again

I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in

Chorus:

Sail away, that's the way I survive

Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive

But it makes my whole life come alive

Solo: (based on verse and chorus chords)

The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night

Crazy crowds boogie to the sound and the lights

Bums down in Capo's, he's just havin' a ball

Oh, what would he do on another landfall

What would they do if I made no landfall

Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal

What would I do if I met Lucile Ball

I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all

Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all

(Repeat Intro chords twice and fade)
