Twelve Volt Man by Jimmy Buffett
[Verse 1]
  F9
I never got a grip in penmanship
                                 Bb
Could never make those small L's flow
F9
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-ma-tic
                         Bbmaj7
Three plus two be faux...pas
[Refrain]
    Bbmaj7       C
But ask for some palm trees
   Bbmaj7         C
Or tales from the South Seas
    Bbmaj7       C         F
And I just might turn your head
[Verse 2]
  F9
I never had the clout to knock one out
                               Bbmaj7
But hitting was the name of my game
F9
Standing on third as the coaches conferred
                              Bbmaj7
So close to my first claim to fame
[Refrain]
     Bbmaj7      C
Just give me the steal sign
    Bbmaj7       C
And I'll make home plate mine
    Bbmaj7       C         F
And I just might turn some heads
[Bridge]
 Bb7                          F
Sometimes I may get a little drastic
 Bb7                          F
Sometimes I just let my feelings show
 Bb7                          F
Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic
G                                   C
Most times that's the way the story goes
[Verse 3]
  F9
Now I know this Joe down in Mexico
                             Bbmaj7
He went there to work on his tan
  F9
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs
                              Bbmaj7
They call him the Twelve-Volt Man
[Refrain]
   Bbmaj7        C
He don't need no charge card
     Bbmaj7     C
Just give him a die-hard
    Bbmaj7            C               F
And he'll make sparks fly around your head
[Outro]
        Bbmaj7       C
Oh just ask for some palm trees
    Bbmaj7        C
Or tales from the South Seas
    Bbmaj7           C               F
And I'll make sparks fly around your head
C          F
'Round your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
C       F
In your head
