Lone Palm - Jimmy Buffett
from "Fruitcakes"
Capo 2
[Intro]
D A E A D A E A
D A E A D A E A
[Verse 1]
E A
My garden is filled with papayas and mangos
E A
My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
D A E
Taste for the good life, I can't live it no other way
D A
While out on the beach there are two empty chairs
D A
That say more than the people who ever sit there
D A E
From under my lone palm I can look out on the day
[Chorus]
D A E A
Where no bird flies by my window
D A E A
No ship is tied to my tree
D A
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
E
Ride if you will, ride it with me
[Interlude]
D A E A D A E A
[Verse 2]
E A
I knew this girl made memories and phrases
E A
Who lived her whole life in both chapters and stages
D A E
Danced 'till the dawn, wished all her worries away
D A
Well she wasn't crazy, no she wasn't mad
D A
She just wanted the father that she never had
D A E
From under my lone palm I think about her today
[Chorus]
D A E A
Where no bird flies by my window
D A E A
No ship is tied to my tree
D A
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
E A
Ride if you will, ride it with me
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
F#m A
We sailed from the port of indecision
F#m A
Young and wild with oh so much to learn
G D E F#m
Days turn into years as we tried to fool our fears
D E A
But to the port of indecision I returned
[Verse 3]
E A
My gardens are filled with papayas and mangos
E A
My life is a mixture of jingles and jangles
D A E
Come Christmas winds and blow all my worries away
[Chorus]
D A E A
Where no bird flies by my window
D A E A
No ship is tied to my tree
D A
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
E A
Ride if you will, ride it with me
E
Sing if you will, Sing to the sea
[Outro]
D A E A
Where no bird flies by my window
D A E A
No ship is tied to my tree
D A E A D A E A
