Six String Music
From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_
By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith
1994
(intro: D chords)
D
Turn off the T.V.
D
Turn off the crap
D
Kick off your high heels
D
Climb up in my lap
Chorus:
Bm
And I'll play music
A D
A song from me to you
Bm
Simple six string music
A D
A ballad or the blues
No interruptions
From the telephone
Don't need call waitin'
Just you and me alone
Chorus:
And my six string music (six string music)
A song from me to you
Simple six string music (six string music)
A ballad or the blues
G D
Oh I remember that night in Africa
G D
My daughter and my little guitar
G D
Straddling the equator
G A
The king of Zanzibar
G D
Those shy black hidden faces
G D
They didn't know me from Adam's cat
Bm
But the words and the singin'
And the people in a ring
G Em A
And the whole night went like that
(instrumental: D chords)
Now some folks like icing
Some folks like cake
Some swim in the ocean
Some paddle in a lake
Well you can get into Beethoven
Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed
But keep it simple stupid
All we really need is
Chorus:
Six string music (six string music)
A song from me to you
Simple six string music (six string music)
A ballad or the blues
Six string music (six string music)
Ain't no symphony
It's just six string music (six string music)
So elementary
