Jimmy Buffett (Bubba) Live in Chicago Wrigley Field. A Pirate Looks At 40-Margaritaville chords
Start Jamming...
Well, I can tell by the design of my guitar strap that we're about to do a pirate song.
[G] And if you know your history of [N] this city, there have been a few pirates running around
the streets of Chicago over the years.
[G]
So anybody that still has a [Gm] little Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, or Becky Thatcher in your heart,
as I still do, and if you're celebrating your 40th birthday tonight, boy, are you in the right place.
[G]
[G]
[A]
[G] [Am] [G]
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call.
[C] Wanted to sail upon your [Dm] waters [C] since I was [G] three feet tall.
You've [Am] seen it all.
[A] [G] [A] You've seen [G] it all.
Watch the man who rode, switch from sail to steam.
[C] In your belly you can hold the treasures you have ever [G] seen.
Most of them [Am]
dream.
[G] [Am] Most of them dream.
Yes, I am a pirate.
200 years too late.
[C] Cannons, dog thunder, there's nothing to plunder.
I'm an over 40 victim of [G] fate.
Driving too [Am] late.
[G]
[Am] Driving too late.
I've done a bit of swatting.
I've run my share of grass.
[Bm] I've [C] made enough money to buy Miami, but I missed it away so [G] fast.
Never meant to [Am] last.
Never meant to last.
[D] [G] I have been drunk, never overdosed.
Passed out and I [G] rallied and I sprung a few leaks, but I [C] got to stop wishin'.
Gotta go fishin' down to rock bottom again.
Just a few [Am] friends.
[Am] Just a few [G] friends.
Thank you my friends.
[C]
[G] [Am]
Well I go for younger women.
I live with several of why.
No, [C] I ran them away.
Hell, they come back one day if they still can manage [G] mine.
Just takes a while.
[G] [Am] Just takes a while.
Mother, mother ocean.
After all my years, I found.
[E] [C] My occupational hazard is.
[C] My occupation's just not [G] around.
I feel like [Am] I've drowned.
[G] [Am] But I won't wear brown.
Feel like I've drowned.
Oh, [Am] I'll try not [G] to get in trouble in this town.
[Am] [G]
[A] [G]
[D] [G]
[Eb] [Ab] Miss Amy Lee on that saxophone.
You're [Gb] in the zone right now.
[D] [E] In margarita billows.
[D]
Nibbling on sponge cake.
Watching the sun bake.
All of you parrot heads covered with [A] oil.
Laced grass skirts.
[E] Hats.
[A] Straw man my six string.
On my front porch swing.
Smell of shrimp hit it again at the [D] bar.
Bubba, bubba, bubba, bubba.
[E] [G] Wasted [A] away again in [D] margarita billows.
[E] [G] Searching for [A] my lost shaker [D] sound.
[G] Some people [A] claim that there's [D] a problem to blame.
But I [Em] know [A]
this is [D] somebody's fault.
I don't know the reason.
Stayed here all season.
With nothing to show but this brand new [A] tattoo.
I think I'll get a new one.
But it's a real beauty.
All those sweet Chicago cuties.
Or maybe she snuck in from fond du lac.
I haven't got a [D] clue.
[E] [G] Wasted [A] away again in [D] margarita billows.
[G] Searching for [A] my lost shaker [D] sound.
[G] Some people [A] claim that there's [D] a woman [G] to blame.
And [A] I know it's all you [D] women's fault.
[A]
[G]
[A] [D]
[D] [E] [A]
[D]
I blew out my flip flop.
Stepped on a pop top.
I broke my leg twice.
I had to limp on [A] back home.
But this booze and blender.
Sitter and [E] dirt.
[A] That frozen concoction that helps me [D] hang on.
[G] Wasted [A] away again in [D] margarita billows.
Yes I am, yes [E] I am.
[G] I'm searching for [A] my lost shaker [D] sound.
Sound, sound.
[G] Some people [A] claim that there's [D] a woman [G] to blame.
But I [Em] know [A]
it's my own [D] damn fault.
You bet it is.
[E] Yeah.
[G] Some people [A] claim that there's a [D] woman [G] to blame.
There [E] always is and I know
[A] it's my own [D] damn fault.
[Em]
[D]
I don't take the blame, Annie McPail.
Thank you, Chicago.
One and all.
