Biscuit City Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
I'd like to be in Biscuit City
With my [F]banjo in my [F#m7-5]hand
I don't [C/G]need no long va[Am7]cation
In some [Em7]foreign land[G]
'Cause the [Am]sound of my own [F]breathing
Has been [C/E]turning to a [Am]sigh
I [F]wish that I could [C]make the time
To [G]be in Biscuit [F]City by and [C]by
[VERSE 2:]
Oh, the water is of emerald
And the [F]beach is white as [F#m7-5]snow
And [C/G]everyone's got [Am7]money
And no [Em7]place to go [G]
In a [Am]land of milk and [F]honey
It can [C/E]really make you [Am]smile
And [F]if I had a [C]ticket
I [G]would stay in Biscuit [F]City for a[C]while
[VERSE 3:]
All the girls are in bikinis
All the [F]boys are in the [F#m7-5]buff
With the [C/G]baby in be[Am7]tween
And that makes [Em7]three of us [G]
And the [Am]streets are all so [F]quiet
And the [C/E]walls are squeaky [Am]clean
I [F]think you ain't been [C]nowhere
'Til the [G]town of Biscuit [F]City you have [C]seen
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F F#m7-5 C/G Am7 Em7 G
[Am] [F] [C/E] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C]
[VERSE 4:]
I'd rather be in Biscuit City
With my [F]banjo in my [F#m7-5]hand
Than [C/G]take a big va[Am7]cation
In some [Em7]foreign land [G]
'Cause the [Am]sound of my own [F]breathing
Has been [C/E]turning to a [Am]sigh
If it [F]were not for mis[C]fortune
I would [G]be in Biscuit [F]City by and [C]by
If it [F]were not for mis[C]fortune
I would [G]stay in Biscuit [F]City 'til I [C]die
