Jimmy Buffett – I Will Play For Gumbo (Ukulele)

  C
I don't smoke I don't shoot smack

      C
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back

          C
Don't eat beignets too much sugar and dough

    G      F         C
But I will play for gumbo

    G      F         C
Yes I will play for gumbo

C
It started in my grandma's in her kitchen by the sea

    C
She warned me when where she told me "son the first one's free"

   C
It hit me like a rock or some Taekwondo

      G      F         C
Cause I will play for gumbo

        G      F         C
Oh yeah I will play for gumbo

  F
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

C
Good for the body, good for the soul

       F
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

G
You should never know when you're gonna get it next

   C
At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux

G      F         C
I will play for gumbo

     G      F         C
Yes, I will play for gumbo

        C
I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes

     C
Or a pound of caviar that's a rich man's dream

          C
No banana split or filet of pompano

    G      F         C
No, I will play for gumbo

      G      F         C
Yeah, I will play for gumbo

  F
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

C
Good for the body, good for the soul

       F
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

G
You should never know when you're gonna get it next

C
Maybe it's that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp

        C
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp

C
Maybe it's that voodoo from Marie Laveau

    G      F         C
But I will play for gumbo

    G      F         C
Hey I will play for gumbo

        C
Now the sauce boss makes his cookin' on the stage

C
Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage

C
Sweating and a frettin' from his head to his toe

G           F                 C
Playin' and swayin' with the gumbo

G           F                   C
Prayin' and buffetin' with the gumbo

  F
A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

C
Good for the body, good for the soul

       F
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

G
You should never know when you're gonna get it next

   C
At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux

G      F        C
I will play for gumbo

G      F        C
I will play for gumbo

G      F        C
I will play for gumbo

G      F        C
I will play for gumbo
