From: Schof26@aol.com Date: Fri, 3 Nov 1995 23:57:47 -0500 The following are what I believe to be the chords for Jimmy Bufett's "Distantly in Love." D: 000232 Dsus2: 000230 Dsus4: 000233 A: 002220 Asus2: 002200 G: 320033 E: 221000 Intro: D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A Asus2 A
DPayphones all were ringing aGs the crowd went roaAring by, D DLovely dancers swayin'G to an island lullAaby D
DBeside the southern ocean, taGking thought of whaAt's to be D DWriting you this letterG that you'll prob'ly nAever see D
G D A G D A G D
But I can'At help but be ruDled by inconsistancies, now you need this distantly in love.
DTried to phone from Paris, tGhinking things couldA be arranged D D G A Me and you would roundez-vDous, but I found your number changed
DSo I drove to San Ramos wGhere the crazy painter dwAells D DToasted our old photogrGaphs still up there onA the shelves D
G D A G D A G D
But I can't Ahelp but be rulDed by my intiguities, now you need this distantly in love
Instrumental |D G A D :|
AI can't be the one Gto fill your times Aand all your places G AI can't be the one Gto fill your blanks aEnd empty spaces A
DI heard it from a frieGnd of ours I saw in ATimber Bay D DYou had a new lover wGho had stolen you awAay D
DThat could be the reason Gthat I never got iAn touch D DHe presents like problemGs if he loves you Ahalf as much D
G D A G D A G
'Cause I Dwho can't helAp but be ruled Dby my intiguities now you need this distantly in love
Dsus4 D Dsus2 G D A G D A G
You know I Dcan't help buAt be part of my own philosophies, now you need this distantly in
Dlove I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy!
