[Gb] Down in St.
Augustine, [Bbm] F.L..A., [Ebm] I was walking along the beach one day, [B] sun beating down like a steel drum played [Eb] so bright that you couldn't see [Ebm] far. I [Gb] was listening to the waves roll in, [Ebm] humming a tune from I don't know when, [B] thinking about times I won't come again, [Bbm] and I thought I heard [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. I [Gb] had a book and a joint and some chunks of bread for [Ebm] the seagulls wheeling above my head. [B] Elmore, Leonard, and Panama [Gb] Red, and the music from a [Ebm] distant bar. [Gb] I was thinking about a real good friend, [Ebm] feeling kind of sorry for myself just then, [B] a whole lot older than I'd ever been, [Bbm] and I thought [Eb] I heard [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. [B] Whole lot of country, whole lot of [Gb] blues, whole lot of sunshine, sand in your shoes, [Db] sound of a player who paid his [Gb] dues, put some miles on that Mustang car. [B] Shot a Merle, jigger a [Db] Chet, [F] little bit of Will [Ebm] McLean, I bet, [Gb] only the wind [Ab] in the palms, and yet, [Bbm] thought I heard [Gb] Gamble's guitar. Sang of the snakes in the swamps [Db] and the vines, [Ebm] sang of the cypress in the phosphate mines, [B] lights up the lane, whisper in [Bbm] pines, watching for the [Ebm] shooting star. [Gb] Stony roads and fishing poles, [Ebm] afternoons at the swimming hole, [B] mouthboat played by a seminal, [Gb] I thought I heard [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. [Gb] The old boys picking round the front [Bbm] porch stove, [Ebm] digging for treasure in a pirate's cove, [B] in a coffeehouse down at Coconut Grove, [Bbm] doesn't matter where you [Ebm] are. [Gb] Behind Spanish walls at Winter [Eb] Park, and [Ebm] the smell of jasmine in the dark, [B] running a speed trap outside Stark, [Gb] and I thought I heard [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. [B] Whole lot of country, whole lot of [Gb] blues, whole lot of sunshine, sand in your shoes, [Db] sound of a player who paid his dues, [Gb] put some miles on that Mustang car. [B] Shot a Merle, jigger a [Gb] Chet, little bit of Will McLean, I bet, [Db] only the wind in the palms, and yet, thought I heard [Gb] Gamble's guitar. Where the sea breeze blows, but there's still the heat, [Ebm] with a sunburned nose and sand spurs on my feet, [B] and my high school sweethearts on old St. Pete, [Bbm] and her husband saying, [Ebm] have a cigar. [Gb] Driving south past [Bbm] Manatee, [Ebm] heading down to the Florida Keys, [B] get things straight between Jesus and me, [Gb] and I thought I heard [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. I [Gb] want to sleep beside the sea tonight, [Fm] hear the crash [Ebm] of waves, see the tops all white, I want to [B] be grateful for what's gone right, [Gb] I want to wish upon [Ebm] a star. [Gb] God bless old friends that have gone before, [Ebm] bless old banjos in old country stores, and bless [B] old Florida forevermore, [Gb] and God bless [Ebm] Gamble's guitar. [B] Whole lot of country, whole lot of [Gb] blues, whole lot of sunshine, sand in your shoes, [Db] sound of a player who paid his dues, [Gb] put some miles on that Mustang car. [B] Shot of Merle, jigger a jet, [Gb] a little bit of Will [Ebm] McLean I [Eb] bet, [Abm] only the [Bbm] wind in the palms, and [B] yet, [Gb] [B] thought [Gb] I heard Gamble's guitar. [Ebm] God bless [Ab] Gamble's guitar. [Gb]
