[Intro]
  Bb     F     C     C(x4)
[Verse 1]
CI can't get the sand out of my Bbshoes
Being in Florida's done a Amnumber on my Cblues
Just the way the women walk rounBbd here
Well it's plain to see the way the Amsand and the sea have done a nCumber on me
And the Bbsky is threatening Fblack and gray and the Csun's a festering red
And her Bbhead is claiming her Fstats ; she ain't yet Crisen from bed
So bBbreakfast again delFayed, postponed, I Cwon't be fed
Bb  F   C   C
[Verse 2]
CThe surf has swallowed him up, he's a Bbmemory now
And the water's warmer than iAmt has been in wCeeks
Grandma lives just down the road, she's making Bbsupper for me tonight
She's been nice to me since 'Am73 when her Cson lost his lights
And Bbnow his ghost is a rFising host above the Cbriny blur
I Bbwould that soon some Fmaid would swoon and his Csoul would capture her
He's Bbstill a fine kid, what with Fall that he did, he's a fCan of mine
Bb  F   C   C
[Bridge]
       C        Bb    Bb    Am     C     C(x2)
  Bb     F     C     C(x4)
[Verse 3]
I Cwasn't planning to spend so long in Bbtown
But the break in the weather has Amgot the partner Cdown
She won't get out, she's shotgun, seems she's Bbsewn to the seat
It's a dirty old trick that I've Amyet to lick and she's Cyet to beat
And you can Bbsee it in her eyes, she was Fborn unwise, she was Cborn for me
If she moBburns too long I'll know Fsomething's wrong and I'll Cleave her be
I could Bbsee it in his shoes he was Fborn to lose, he was Cborn for me
Bb  F   C

I wasn't planning to spend so long in town

But the break in the weather has got the partner down

She won't get out, she's shotgun, seems she's sewn to the seat

It's a dirty old trick that I've yet to lick and she's yet to beat

And you can see it in her eyes, she was born unwise, she was born for me

If she mourns too long I'll know something's wrong and I'll leave her be
