In the Shelter
By: Jimmy Buffett
1971
Intro: A E A E
E In the shelter
In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaAming
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 empAty
F#m Nothing is going well
If you could only tell them Ehow you feel
But tAhey'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 tErials she had
(Repeat first verse, then)
EHell, I just don't know, but AI can't go back Ehome A E A E (fade)
