[Em] [Am] [A]
[D]
The wind is in from Africa, [A] and last night I couldn't sleep
Oh [G] you know it sure is [D] hard to leave you Carrie, but it's [A] really not my [D] home
[A] [D] My fingernails are still feet, [A] I've got beach tar on my feet
And [G] I miss [D] my dear, and my fancy French cologne
[A] Oh Carrie get [D] out your cape, and hang it [A] on some silk
[G] Oh you're a [D] neat old daddy, but I like you fine
Come on down to the mermaid cafe, [A] and I will buy you a bottle of wine
[G] And we'll laugh [D] and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers, [A] a round for these friends of mine
[D] Let's have [G] another round [D] for whoever keeps [A] me in this tourist town
Come on Carrie [D] get out your cape, and hang it on some silk
[G] Oh [D] you're a neat old daddy, but I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam, [A] or maybe I'll go to Rome
[G] And rent me [D] a Diana, and put some flowers round my room
[A] [D] But let's not talk about heavy wells now, [A] the night is a starry dawn
[G] And they're playing their [D]
violin rope, they [A] need some apple of the moon
Come on Carrie get [D] out your cape, and hang it on some silk
Oh [G] you're [D] a neat old daddy, but I like you
The wind is in for [G] party [A] colors, and last night I couldn't sleep
[G] Oh you know it sure is [D] hard to leave you, but it's really not my [A] fault
[D] Maybe it's been too long, a time since I was scrambling [A] down in the street
[G] And they've got me used to that [D] clean white linen, and that [F#m] fancy French cologne
[A] Oh Carrie get [D] out your cape, I'll put [A] on my finest silk
[Gm] Oh they'd never, [D] they'd probably have fun tonight
I [G] said oh you're [D] a neat old daddy, but you're out of sight
