 Eunder main riff
[Verse]
She came dAown from BCincinnEati

And they Afeed right Bafter dEark
[Chorus]
G#7mCan't you feel 'em C#7mcirclin', honey

You got Afins to the Bleft, Afins to the Bright
And you're the oAnly gBirl in Etown

[Verse]
She's saviAng up aBll of her Emoney
Wants to hAead it soButh in Emay
Maybe roAll in the sBand with a rEock 'n' roll man
ASomewhere down MBontserrat wEay
But the moAney's gBood in the sEeason
HAelps to lighten Bup her Eload
ABoys keep her hBigh as the Emonths go by
She's getting pAostcards fBrom the rEoad
[Chorus]
G#7mCan't you feel 'em C#7mcirclin', honey

You got Afins to the Bleft, Afins to the Bright
And you're the oAnly Bbait in Etown

[Verse]
ASailed off Bto anEtigua
It took her Athree days Bon a Eboat
ALookin' for some Bpeace and Equiet
AMaybe keep her dBreams aEfloat
But now she Afeels like Ba rEemora
'cause the sAchool's still cBlose at Ehand
Just Abehind the Breef are the Ebig white teeth
Of the Asharks that can Bswim on the Eland
[Chorus]
G#7mCan't you feel 'em C#7mcirclin', honey

[Intro]

under main riff

[Verse]

A B E

She came down from Cincinnati

A B E

It took her three days on the train

A B E

Lookin' for some peace and quiet

A B E

Hoped to see the sun again

A B E

But now she lives down by the ocean

A B E

She's takin' care to look for sharks

A B E

They hang out in the local bars

A B E

And they feed right after dark

[Chorus]

G#7m C#7m

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

G#7m C#7m

Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around

A B A B

You got fins to the left, fins to the right

And you're the only bait in town

A B E

She's saving up all of her money

A B E

Wants to head it south in may

A B E

Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man

A B E

Somewhere down Montserrat way

A B E

But the money's good in the season

A B E

Helps to lighten up her load

A B E

Boys keep her high as the months go by

A B E

She's getting postcards from the road

[Chorus]

G#7m C#7m

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

A B E

Sailed off to antigua

A B E

It took her three days on a boat

Lookin' for some peace and quiet

Maybe keep her dreams afloat

A B E

But now she feels like a remora

A B E

'cause the school's still close at hand

A B E

Just behind the reef are the big white teeth

A B E

Of the sharks that can swim on the land

[Chorus]

G#7m C#7m

Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey

G#7m C#7m

Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
