There's a Gwoman goin' crazy on Caroline Street DStoppin' every man that she does meet Sayin' Cif you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet I'll show you my place on CaroAmline GStreet
She Gclaimed in a loud Dvoice to be a Cdancer But GI don't think she's Dcut a rug in Cyears GListens to the Djukebox for her Canswers SGlowly guzzles Dtwenty-five cent Cbeers
Talks about the men she's known and then some She's seen them in her dreams and on the street She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table As if to reveal some kind of treat (Repeat chorus) Her lover left her stranded in Jamaica Just right now she can't recall his name Perceiving she's the center of attention And all the lurking eyes they look the same Weather's got the shrimpers in a frenzy They're horny and don't need a good excuse Someone yells and things just start erupting And in a flash all hell has broken loose (Repeat chorus) (guitar solo) When I woke up and looked around the barroom She was gone and I was black and blue So be careful when you go to swing your partner Someone just might take a swing at you (Repeat chorus twice and fade) ------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, And I Don't Love Jesus By: Jimmy Buffett 1975 Intro: Em A7 D G Em A7 D G Chorus:

Went down to the Dsnake pit To drink a little Gbeer Listen to the Djukebox Merle was comin' in Gclear EmAll of a sudden I wasn't alone A7Pickin' country music with ol' Joe Bones DDuval Street was rockin'
My eyes they starting poppin'
Because Emthere she sat at the corner of the bar As I A7broke another string on my ol' guitar DSomeone call a cab D7Lady won'tcha pay my tab
Chorus: And now my head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus It's that kinda mornin' Really was that kinda night Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin' And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night Gotta get a little orange juice And a Darvon for my head I can't spend all day Baby layin' in the bed I'm goin' down to Fausto's get some chocolate milk Can't spend my life in yer sheets of silk I've got to find my way Crawl out and greet the day Chorus: But now my head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus It's that kinda mornin' Really was that kinda night Tryin' to tell myself that my condition is improvin' And if I don't die by Thursday I'll be roarin' Friday night

-------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: The Captain and The Kid @CHORDS: Mike A. Hall (mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu) The Captain and The Kid By: Jimmy Buffett 1970
D I never used to Gmiss the chance D To climb upon his Gknee D And listen to the Gmany tales E7 Of life upon the Asea F#m We'd go sailing back on Gbarkentines F#m And talk of things he Gdid F#m Tomorrow's just a Gday away For the E7captainA and the Dkid
His world had gone from sailing ships To raking mom's back yard He never could adjust to land Although he tried so hard We both were growing older then And wiser with our years That's when I came to understand The course his heart still steers He died about a month ago While winter filled the air And though I cried I was so proud To love a man so rare He's somewhere on the ocean now The place he ought to be With one hand on the starboard rail He's waving back at me (Repeat first verse)
For the E7captain A and this Dkid ------------------------------------------------------ Chord diagrams: F#m - |244222| E7 - |o2o1oo| -----------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chorus:
'Cause there's somethin' so feminine Aabout a Emandolin The Away that they Efeel, the Away that they Bring E B Just to Esee slender fingers, Amovin' so quickly F#mMade this Abmboy want F#mto Esing
And when I get older and I have a daughter I'll teach her to sing and play her my songs And I'll tell her some stories I can barely remember And hope that she will sing along And maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin' 'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting And if she could just strum a few simple measures She could make some young man sing 'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin Way that they feel, the way that they ring And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin That mandolin made me sing Her mandolin made me sing --------------------------------------- Chord diagrams: Abm - |466444| F#m - |244222| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| @SONG: Kick It In Second Wind Kick It In Second Wind By: Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol

This Chotel room's got a lot of stuff A laundry bag and a Gshoeshine Ccloth
Thirty-two hangers and a touchtone phone
With a light that comes on when GI ain't Chome FI ain't home, CI ain't home You better leave a message, 'cause GI ain't Chome
Break: F C G C They got an air conditioner for when I'm hot A radiator for when I'm not Two big chairs sittin' side-by-side With a Holy Bible and a TV Guide TV Guide, TV Guide, great God almighty, it's a TV Guide I got a second-story view from curb to curb I got a sign that reads, "Do Not Disturb" A monogrammed towel and bucket of ice A chest of drawers and mirror that lies Mirror that lies, mirror that lies That couldn't be me in the gorilla disguise They got a room service menu for food and drink A porcelain throne and an aluminium sink Two big pillows to rest my head A Magic Fingers and a king-sized bed Put in a quarter, turn out the light Magic Fingers makes you feel alright Feel alright, feel alright Magic Fingers makes you feel alright This old hotel's alright with me They pay the postage if you lose the key This hotel room's got a lot of stuff But I do believe I've had enough Call my baby said don't you pout I'm packin' my bags and I'm checkin' out Just as soon as you hang up the telephone Stick a candle in the window, I'm comin' home Comin' home, comin' home Stick a candle in the window I'm comin' home Whoa, comin' home, comin' home Stick a candle in the window I'm comin' home Spoken: "Thank you boys" --------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************** -------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer -(please read)-: These chord arrangments were created for private use.
