Jimmy Buffett - The wino and i know

^GThe ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan ^GGot seventy-eights by Hank Snow ^CWalks down the street, shufflin' his feet ^GTo a rhythm that only he knows And I've ^Bmseen him in so many ^Cplaces I ^Bmsaw him the night I was ^Fborn^{D D}In a ^GBourbon Street bar, I received my first scar From an ^Dold man so ^Ctattered and ^Gtorn

And the ^Cwino and I know the pain of street singin' ^GLike a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin' ^DStrange situation, ^Cwild occupation ^CLivin' my life like a ^Gsong

^GThe coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde ^GThe donuts are too hot to touch ^CJust like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool ^GI eat till I eat way too much 'Cause I'm ^Bmlivin' on things that ex^Ccite me Be they ^Bmpastry, lobster or lo^Fve ^{D D}I'm just ^Gtryin' to get by being quiet and shy In a ^Dworld full of ^Cpushin' and ^Gshovin’

And the ^Cwino and I know the pain of back bustin' ^GLike the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin' ^DStrange situation, ^Cwild occupation ^CLivin' my life like a ^Gsong

^DSweet senorita won't you ^Cplease come with ^Gme ^DBack to the island honey, ^Cback to the ^Gsea ^DBack to the only place that ^CI want to ^Dbe

^CAnd the wino and I know the joy of the ocean ^GLike a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion ^DStrange situation, ^Cwild occupation ^CLivin' my life like a ^Gsong Yes it’s ^Da strange situation^C, wild occupation ^CLivin' my life like a ^Gsong
