Alabama – Down On Longboat Key (Guitar)

G#m          A              B             C#m
She sits and stares out the window at the water

G#m   A             B
Every night down at Longy's Cafe

G#m  A                 B      C#m
All alone she sips her pina colada

B       A                    B
Talkin' to herself, dreamin' time away

G#m       A         B           C#m
The story is that a dark haired sailor

G#m       A     B
Stole her heart many years ago

G#m         A         B          C#m
He promised her, he'd come back and take her

  B         A                B
Around the world, bring her hills of gold

E    B     F#m      A

G#m       A           B             C#m
Each afternoon as the shrimp boats come in

G#m         A              B
She runs to meet them down at the pier

G#m          A              B            C#m
She sees the fishermen, the nets and the sunset

B       A                  B
But she don't see him, her eyes fill with tears

G#m              A              B            C#m
She stands there lookin' at the crystal blue water

G#m        A            B
And in the coral she imagines pearls

G#m       A                        B                  C#m
She makes believe, he brought them all the way from China

B        A                            B
Then the water swirls, the blue-green water swirls

E    B     F#m      A

C#m                          G#m
Young sailors make a play to take her home

          F#m              E
She says, No, I'm already taken

C#m                          G#m
Oh, they just laugh when she mentions his name

F#m      E          A
She just keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
