[Verse]
D
She said I can't go back to America soon
So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June
G Em
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo stuck in their cars
A G D
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars
D
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
G Em
Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind
A G D D7
And any direction he blows will be fine
[Chorus]
G D
Please don't say mañana if you don't mean it
A D D7
I have heard those words for so very long
G D
Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it
A G D
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong
[Verse]
D
Tried and I tried but I don't understand
Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned
G Em
Hangin' out at a marina when Steve Martin called
A G D
Singin' anybody there really want to get small
D
But women and water are in short supply
There's not enough dope for us all to get high
G Em
I hear it gets better, that's what they say
A G D D7
As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay
[Chorus]
G D
Please don't say mañana if you don't mean it
A D D7
I have heard those words for so very long
G D
Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it
A G D
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song
[Bridge]
Alright let's reggae, Reefers!
D G A G D
[Verse]
D
Called my friends on those cheap nightly rates
Sure was good to talk to the old United States
G Em
While the lights of St. Thomas lie twenty miles west
A G D
I see General Electric's still doing their best
D
I got to head this boat South pretty soon
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes
G Em
But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come
A G D
Through the people and places and Caldwood's Rum
[Chorus]
G D
Please don't say mañana if you don't mean it (don't mean it)
A D D7
I have heard those words for so very long
G D
Don't try to describe a Kiss concert if you've never seen it
A G D
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged (gong)
[Tag]
A G D
And I hope Anita Bryant never ever does one of my songs
No, no, no...
