[Em] Alright, with the recent passing [A] of Jimmy Buffett, [N] we wanted to pay our respects by
highlighting our favorite song he wrote.
For those that are not familiar with Jimmy Buffett, he was a very popular singer-songwriter
that climbed [A] the Billboard Hot 100 during the [B] 1970s.
He had a very prolific career [N] in music, which he later drew upon to become an extraordinarily
successful entrepreneur, or should we just say billionaire.
[Am] He had a knack for marketing and licensed [G] the names of his songs for various [C] products
[Am] and spun them into restaurant chains such as Cheeseburger [G] in Paradise and of [Am] course,
the iconic Margaritaville, which was [Gm] named after his [Am] 1977 hit released on February 14.
[G] We're staying [A] away again [D] in Margaritaville.
[G] Margaritaville is undoubtedly [Am] a great song, but it's his [F] second best in our opinion.
[Am] For his best song, we have to go back to September [G] 1973 when it was [Am] written just a few weeks
before [F] his friend and mentor, [C] Jim Croce, who [Am] was also an incredible singer-songwriter,
[G] tragically died in a plane [Am] crash at age 30 on September [F] 20, 1973.
[Am] This was a day, just [G] one day, before his [Am] own best song was released and became a [B] Top 40
hit called I Got a [E] Name.
[D#] [C#m]
[E] [Am] Jimmy Buffett helped fill the void that was left after the loss of Jim Croce by [A] recording
his best [Am] song a few weeks after his death [G] in the month of October of [Am] 1973.
It was written about his trip [G] heading out to California for a concert over Labor Day
weekend, and eventually, it was [Em] released six months after Jim Croce's death on [D] Jimmy Buffett's
fourth album, Living and Dying in Three-Quarters Time.
The date was February 5, 1974, and just a few months later, his [G] best song followed [Am] Jim
Croce's and also [G] became a Top 40 hit.
It's [D] called Come Monday.

[D] Now that's a Sonic [A] gem.
