Lovely Cruise
=============
By Johnathan Baham  (As sung by Jimmy Buffett)
[Verse]
C              F              D
  Drink it up, this one's for you;
  C           G      C
  it's been a lovely cruise.
C                               F              D
  I'm sorry it's ending, oh it's sad, but it's true;
        C             G      C        C7
  Honey,  it's been a lovely cruise.
[Chorus]
     F                   C
     These moments we're left with,
     F                C
     may you always remember.
     F                 C         G
     These moments are shared by few.
     C                                    F            D
     There's wind in our hair and there's water in our shoes.
           C             G      C
     Honey,  it's been a lovely cruise.
(spoken: "So let's cruise darlin'.")
[Solo]

     may you always remember.
     F                 C         G
     These moments are shared by few.
     C                                       F           D
     And those harbor lights,  lord, they're coming into view.
     C                                G
     We'll bid our farewells much too soon
C                 F               D
  So drink it up,  this one's for you.
        C             G      C
  Honey,  it's been a lovely cruise.
            C             G      C
