As recorded by Jimmy Buffett (From the 2023 Album EQUAL STRAIN ON ALL PARTS) [Intro] C G F C G F G C [Chorus]
C                  G
Close calls, close calls

F G       C
I will survive

                 G
Brick walls, big balls

F                 G
Lucky just to be alive

  C
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint

   F                      D
He whipped my ass, that's beside the point

      C            G
Close calls, close calls

F             G   C    F G C
Lucky just to be alive
[Verse 1]
C                     G
Been in lots of tight spots

   F           G       C
So many that I can't explain

               G
Big shots, bon mots

F                     G
I don't always use my brain

      C
Scuba divin' Pensacola

C
Hundred twenty feet down

       F
I'm so glad Jack buddy-breathed me

     D
Or I guess I would have drowned

      C            G
Close calls, close calls

                      C
I don't always use my brain
[Bridge]
E7
Life can be a pickle

E7
Or a stalk of sugar cane

    F
One day you're wrestlin' 'gators

     D                                 G
Next day you're singing "Never Been to Spain"

   A        D
In Spain in Spanish!
[Fiddle Solo] A G A D A G A D G E7 D A G A D [Chorus]
D                  A
Close calls, close calls

G         D
I will survive

                 A
Brick walls, big balls

G                 A
Lucky just to be alive

  D
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint

   G                      E7
He whipped my ass, that's beside the point

      D            A
Close calls, close calls

G             A   D
Lucky just to be alive

                   A
Close calls, close calls

G         D
I will survive

                   A
Close calls, close calls

G             A   D
Lucky just to be alive
[Outro] D G E7 D A G A D
