Chords

[INTRO:] C [VERSE 1:] I'd like to be in Biscuit City
        F           F#m7-5
With my banjo in my hand

        C/G            Am7
I don't need no long vacation

        Em7           G
In some foreign land

           Am              F
'Cause the sound of my own breathing 

         C/E          Am
Has been turning to a sigh 

  F                 C
I wish that I could make the time 

   G             F           C
To be in Biscuit City by and by
[VERSE 2:] Oh, the water is of emerald
        F                 F#m7-5
And the beach is white as snow 

    C/G            Am7
And everyone's got money

       Em7          G
And no place to go 

     Am               F
In a land of milk and honey

       C/E             Am
It can really make you smile 

    F          C
And if I had a ticket 

  G                     F         C
I would stay in Biscuit City for awhile
[VERSE 3:] All the girls are in bikinis
        F               F#m7-5
All the boys are in the buff 

         C/G       Am7
With the baby in between

               Em7          G
And that makes three of us 

        Am                 F
And the streets are all so quiet

        C/E               Am
And the walls are squeaky clean 

  F                    C
I think you ain't been nowhere 

         G               F             C
'Til the town of Biscuit City you have 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
        F           F#m7-5
With my banjo in my hand 

     C/G          Am7
Than take a big vacation

        Em7           G
In some foreign land 

           Am              F
'Cause the sound of my own breathing

         C/E          Am
Has been turning to a sigh 

      F               C
If it were not for misfortune 

        G             F           C
I would be in Biscuit City by and by 

      F               C
If it were not for misfortune 

        G               F           C
I would stay in Biscuit City 'til I die
