^DI took off for a w^Geekend last month Just to ^Atry and recall the whole ^Dyear All of the faces and ^Gall of the places W^Aonderin' where they all disa^Dppeared ^BmI didn't ponder the ^F#mquestion too long I was ^Ghungry and went out for a ^Abite Ran ^Ginto a chum with a ^Dbottle of rum and we ^Awound up drinkin' all^D night

[Chorus]

It's these ^Gchanges in latitudes, ^Dchanges in attitudes N^Aothing remains quite the ^Dsame With^G all of our running and^D all of our cunning if ^Awe couldn't laugh we would^G all go in^Dsane

Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places I've been Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go back again If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall Good times and riches and son of a bitches I've seen more than I can recall [Chorus] These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same Through all of the islands and all of the highlands If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane [Repeat Intro chords] I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin' again Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder So I can't look back for too long There's just too much to see waiting in front of me And I know that I just can't go wrong [Chorus] With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of my running and all of my cunning If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane

If ^Awe weren't all crazy we ^Fwould ^Cgo in^Gsane ^D ^A ^D [Chord diagrams] Bm - |xxo432| F#m - |xx4222|

^GYears grow shor^C/Dter, not longe^Gr ^C/D The ^Gmore you've ^Cbeen on your ^Gown ^C/D ^GFeelin's for ^C/Dmovin' grow stron^Gger ^C/D So you ^Fwonder why you ^Cever go ^Ghome ^FWonder why you ^Cever go ^Ghome ^C/G ^G

People are movin' so quickly Humor's in need of repair Same occupations and same obligations They've really go nothing to share Like drivin' around with no spare River gets deeper not shallow The further you move down the stream Wonderin' if I can keep her As I race to catch up with my dreams How they shine and glitter and gleam Years grow shorter, not longer The more you've been on your own Feelin's for movin' grow stronger So you wonder why you ever go home Wonder why you ever go home You wonder why you ever go home Chord diagrams C/G - |3x2o13| or |332o1o| C/D - |xxoo1o| ************************************** SONG: Banana Republics

D^Gown to the Banana Republics, ^Amdown to the tropical sun Go the^D7 expatriated Americans, ^Ghopin' to find some fun S^Gome of them go for the sailing, ^Amcaught by the lure of the sea ^D7Tryin' to find what is ailing, ^Glivin' in the land of the free S^Gome of them are running from lovers, ^Amleaving no forward address ^D7Some of them are running tons of ganja some are^G running from the I.R.S

[Chorus]

^DmLate at night you will find them In the^Am cheap hotels and bars H^Custling the senio^Gritas ^Cwhile they^G dance be^Dneath the ^Gstars Spen^Dmding those renegade pesos on a ^Ebbottle of rum and a ^Dlime Si^Cngin' give me some words I can ^Gdance to ^COr a m^Gel - o^D7dy that ^Grhymes

First you learn the native customs Soon a word of spanish or two You know that you cannot trust them 'cause they know they can't trust you Expatriated Americans, feelin' so all alone Telling themselves the same lies That they told themselves back home [solo] -play - G Am D G - Dm Am C G C G Down to the Banana Republics Things aren't as warm as they seem None of the natives are buying any Second-hand American dreams [repeat chorus] Down to the Banana Republics Down to the tropical sun Go the expatriated Americans Hopin' to find some fun [repeat chords and fade] ************************************** SONG: Tampico Trauma **At the places notated "5th, 4th, 3rd" stand for an "A" chord **fingering on that particular fret.

^D South of the Border ^A Where the law and order Is ^Dkept by Federales who just ^Egrin 5th 4th 3rd A And tell you they just want to be your friend

[repeat run] I left for Tampico last July I jumped off that boat I almost died

^D There to greet us ^A Were pretty senoritas I ^Dswore that I would not go home t^Ehen

[repeat run] All those lovely ladies were my friends All those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend [solo] [repeat run] That is all I really want to say I was thrown out of the country yesterday

[See I was]^D drinkin' double ^A Causin' lots of trouble When the ^Dman looked in the window of the bar and he ^Egrinned 5th 4th 3rd A And said, "If you come back we just may not be your friend"

[repeat run] "I don't want to see you 'round here again" "If you come back next time we may not..." [Hidy ho' boys!] ************************************** SONG: Lovely Cruise

************************************** SONG: Margaritaville

^DNibblin' on sponge cake Watchin' the sun bake All of those tourists covered with ^Aoil

Strummin' my six-string On my front porch swing

Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to ^Dboil ^D7 [Chorus] ^G Wastin' ^Aaway again in Marga^Dritaville ^D7 ^G Searching for my^A lost shaker of ^Dsalt ^D7 ^G Some people ^Aclaim that there's a ^Dwo-^Aman to ^Gblame But I ^Aknow ^G it's nobody's f^Dault

I don't know the reason I stayed here all season Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo But it's a real beauty A Mexican cutie How it got here I haven't a clue [Chorus] Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame Now I think Hell, it could be my fault [Solo] [based on verse chords and chorus] I blew out my flip-flop Stepped on a pop-top Cut my heel had to cruise on back home But there's booze in the blender And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on [Chorus] Wastin' away again in Margaritaville Searching for my lost shaker of salt Some people claim that there's a woman to blame But I know It's my own damned fault [Coda]

Yes and,^G some people ^Aclaim that there's a ^Dwo-^Aman to ^Gblame And I ^Aknow ^G it's my own damned ^Dfault

************************************** SONG: In The Shelter [Intro] A E A E

^E In the shelter In the mornin' as the sun is brightly glea^Aming ^F#m I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? I ^Ejust don't know, but ^AI can't go back ^Ehome"

^E Lonely princess All the days out on your own are growing emp^Aty ^F#m Nothing is going well If you could only tell them ^Ehow you feel But t^Ahey're too real to ^Eunderstand

[Chorus]

^A Too many trite expressions Ending in forced rejections ^Elong ago ^A To many innocent faces In too many far out places ^Esomethings wrong Let me tell you that ^Bsomethings wrong It's been that ^Away so long, and it's a ^Eshame

On the street car To the city where she knows she may lose it all Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time And knowing well that this could be her final fall Past the boutique To the alley down the river, people pass her by She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry [Chorus]

^A Too many wild rejections Endin' in angry questions ^Efrom her dad ^A Too many T.V. dinners Ah, everyone loves a winner, but ^Eshe was lost ^ANo one knows the t^Erials she had

[Repeat first verse, then]

^EHell, I just don't know, but ^AI can't go back ^Ehome ^A ^E ^A ^E [fade] ************************************** SONG: Miss You So Badly

^CI guess it ^Fall blew up in Missoula There just ^Cwas no ^G7other ^Cway After ^Fmonths of goin' crazy, there was ^Cnothin' ^G7left to^C say But when the^Am dust had finally settled And the^D7 air had quickly cleared ^FWhoa, things were better ^G7off than I had fe^Cared ^C7

[Chorus]

[And I,] ^F Miss you so badly, ^C girl I love you madly ^G Feelin' so sad now since I been ^Cgone, gone, g^C7one ^F It gets quite confusin',^C it seems that I'm loosin' ^G Track of the long days since I been ^Chome

We're stayin' in a Holiday Inn full of surgeons I guess they meet there once a year They exchange physician's stories And get drunk on Tuborg beer And then they're off to catch a stripper With their eyes glued to her "G" But I don't think that I would ever let 'em cut on me [Chorus] [And I,] Miss you so badly, girl I love you madly I think I've been had though for stayin' so long, long, long And I'm, just watchin' the Gong Show, waitin' for Zorro Losin' the long days since I been home [Solo] I got a head full of feelin' higher And an ear full of Patsy Cline There is just no one who can touch her Hell, I'll hang on every line Oh, crazy how things happen, it's incredible but true The longer I'm gone the closer I feel to you [Chorus] [And I,] Miss you so badly, girl I love you madly I'm feelin' so glad just to be headin' home, home, home I've been, battlin' motel maids, and chewin' on Rolaids Countin' the hours till I get home Whoa I been, countin' the hours till I get home ************************************** SONG: Biloxi

D^Aown around Biloxi Pretty girls are swimmin' in the ^Dsea They all look like sisters in the ^Aocean B^Doy will fill his pale with salty ^Awater And the ^Gstorms will blow from ^Doff towards New ^AOrleans

T^Ahe Sun shines on Biloxi The air is filled with vapors from the ^Dsea The boy will dig a pool beside the ^Aocean He sees ^Dcreatures from his dreams ^Aunderwater And the ^GSun will set from ^Doff towards New ^AOrleans

[solo] G D A G D A Stars can see Biloxi Stars can find their faces in the sea We are walking down beside the ocean We are splashing naked in the water And the sky is red from off towards New Orleans ************************************** SONG: Landfall [Intro] G A C G G A C G G A C G G A C G

Now ^Gwhat would they ^Ado if I ^Cjust sailed a^Gway ^GWho the hell ^Areally compelled me ^Cto leave to^Gday ^GRunnin' low on^A stories of what^C made it a ^Gball ^GWhat would they ^Ado if I ^Cmade no land^Gfall

I lived half my life in an eight by five room Just crusin' to the sound of the big diesel boom It's not close quarters that would make me snap It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap [Chorus] [see below for notes on "Run"] "Run" E A G Sail away, for a month at a time "Run" E A G Sail away, I've got to restart my mind

And you'll ^Afind me back at it ^Gba - ^Ggain Now I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night The mid-morning watch is the best time to look Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years Some days were laughter and others were tears If I had it all to do over again I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in [Chorus] Sail away, that's the way I survive Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive But it makes my whole life come alive [Solo] [based on verse and chorus chords] The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night Crazy crowds boogie to the sound and the lights Bums down in Capo's, he's just havin' a ball Oh, what would he do on another landfall What would they do if I made no landfall Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal What would I do if I met Lucile Ball I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all [Repeat Intro chords twice and fade] ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Run" notes: this notates to play a "run" of the notes [G, Gb, E] as a lead-in to the E chord of the chorus. Here's a Tab example: e|-------------------| b|-------------------| g|--------------1----| d|--------------2----| a|--------------2----| E|--3--2--0----------| G Gb E E [chord] ** also, on the "Gb" note [last line of chorus], I play just the note on the E [bass] string to lead-in to the G chord. As always, listen to the song to get it just right. MAH ************************************ | x Dead note ************************************
