FLORIDAYS
By Jimmy Buffett
Note : This is a pretty accurate translation on my part although
I'm not so sure about the A minors. The chords are on the
top of the lyrics.
(Intro)
[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] [C]
I [G]come from where the [Am]rivers meet the [D]sea
That's [G]part of why I'm so [Am]wild and fancy [D]free
NC Am.......... // C
I was early into crazy ways,
my folks said it's just a phase[//] [D]
They were hoping for [G]better days[C] [G] [C]
Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most
Write em down and pass em around its the gospel from the coast
Reflections not just replays
Taking time to escape the maze
Lookin for [G]better days[C] [D] [C] [G]
Spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in ole Beirut
Seems like all their aimin for there is to hang around and shoot
Each others lives away
Bloody winds on a distant bay
They're lookin for better [G]days
[F]Lookin to the [C]left, [F]lookin' to the [C]right
[F]Looking to the [Am]stars to shed some [C]light
[F]Hopin for a [C]breath, [F]hopin for a [C]break
[F]Hopin for the [Am]give without the [C]take[D]
The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show
Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big
jets go
Streakin through the morning haze
Focal point of a distant gaze
Lookin for [G]better days[C] [G] [C]
INSTRUMENTAL
[F] [C] [F] [C]
[F] [Am] [C]
[F] [C] [F] [C]
[F] [Am] [C] [D]
Pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun
On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1
I'm back to live in Floridays
Blue skies and ultra violet rays
Lookin for better [G]days
I'm back to live in [Am]Floridays[//] [C]
Blue skies and ultra violet rays[//] [D]
Lookin for [G]better days, [C] lookin for [G]better days[C]
Lookin for [G]better days, [C] lookin for [G]Floridays[C]
pause....
[Am]Bet - [G]ter [C]days,
[Am]bet - [G]ter [C]days (everybody's lookin for)
[Am]Bet - [G]ter [C]days (somewhere beneath the shining star)
[Am]Bet - [G]ter [C]days (take me won't you take me to)
[Am]Bet - [G]ter [C]days (sure could use a few)
[Am]Bet - [G]ter [C]days
