Jimmy Buffett – Coconut Telegraph (Guitar)

 E             A   E
Tuesday on the island

B              E
Not much goin' on

                A   E
The parties are all over

      B               E
They ended just past dawn

E                    A  E
The jungle drums are beating

B                             E
With the tales from late last night

                     A   E
'Cause stories bear repeating

     B            E
For everyone's delight

E       A                       E
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

           B                   E
Can't keep nothin' under their hat

        A                       E
You can hear 'em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

   B                   E
Sayin' who did dis and dat

A       E    B        E
Dis and dat, Dis and dat

E                          A   E
Now I'm not one to deal in gossip

B                     E
But was he that big a fool

                     A    E
To do a belly-buster high dive

      B              E
And miss the entire pool

E                        A   E
And what became of sweet Melissa

        B          E
And the boy nobody knew

                 A    E
Did Ricardo ever find her

             B                   E
I swear it's just between me and you

E           A                      E
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

       B         E
By now everybody knows

        A                      E
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

  B                E
Just who comes and goes

 A        E      B        E
Comes and goes, comes and goes

 A     E           B
La,    la la la,   la la la

A      E           B
La,    la la la,   la la la

A      E
La,    la la la, (la la la la la la la)

A      E                B
La,    la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh)

E                    A   E
It's hump day on the island

    B                   E
The lines have all gone dead

                      A   E
All the juicy news is history

        B                 E
I guess everything's been said

E                           A  E
But when the eagle flies on Friday

        B                  E
And the boys break out the rum

                        A   E
And the joint begins to jumpin'

           B                   E
And you'll hear those hot lines hum

    A                     E
Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

        B                   E
All the celebration and the stress

     A                     E
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

   B                    E
In twenty-five words or less

          A                      E
I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph)

        B                   E
All the celebration and the stress

     A                     E
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)

   B                    E
In twenty-five words or less

 A      E    B         E
Dis and dat, Comes and goes

 A      E    B         E
Dis and dat, Comes and goes
