Mac McAnally, Zanzibar chords
Start Jamming...
One of the perks of being a coral reefer is you get to go all over the world.
[C]
Jimmy's been most places already and I've gotten [E] to go quite a few with him.
He's checking [N] off his, I mean, all of his dreams I think [C#] came true by about 1985
and he's just been making crap up ever since then.
[E] [F]
I get to draft off of him [D#] in the NASCAR sense of the word.
I get to [C] ride shotgun to go to some pretty cool places.
[C#] We started [C] thinking of places that we hadn't [E] been and
I wrote a song [C] about one of them.
I think I'm trying to write a [D#] tourism commercial for Zanzibar is what this is.
I wrote this song called [N] Zanzibar.
My dad came back from World War II listening to big bands,
[E] Andrew's Sisters and [F#] Django Reinhardt.
I [Gm] can't really play that way but I love that kind [C] of music.
This song came out of it.
[E] It's kind [N] of fun to play.
Take a deep breath.
I'm a short-lugged, high blood pressure, smoking in [F#] utero Mississippian
so to [Em] get this all out in one, [C] it's either going to be exhilarating
or [F#] we'll cut it out [N] of the TV show.
[B] Either way, maybe it's worth three minutes of your time.
I appreciate it.
This is called Zanzibar.

[E] [Am]
Round and round the world I go like a man possessed
Systematically searching [B] for a certain [E] girl in the little white dress
[Am] Bullet trains, boats and [C] planes, places [F] she might
[Dm] Just [Am] one or two [E] remain
Alphabetical, geographic, e [D]-lemonade
The possibilities [E] of Zanzibar
[Am] People say I go too [E] far
[Dm] Chances are [G] they're right that I don't want to [C#] talk about
[E] Everywhere [C] I look for you, I look [E] there

This exotic life I lead, [A] strange as it may seem
