Jimmy Buffett – Permanent Reminder Of A Temporary Feeling (Guitar)

Dmaj9                   Bmaj7
 She was no marine back from the Philippines

    Dmaj9                               Bmaj7
She was their pride and joy, their incarnation

    Dmaj9                         E
Her parents viewed the chief with shock and disbelief

D                 F#         B
 Looking for some other explanation

    Dmaj9                  Bmaj7
The Indian on her back was poised for an attack

             Dmaj9                    Bmaj7
She said, "A tattoo is a badge of validation."

        Dmaj9                             E
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing

       D                 F#              B
It's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

E                       F#
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

  E                              B
Amnesiac episodes that never go away

        F#              E                 B
It's no complex memento, it's no subtle revealing

       F#                E               B
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Dmaj9               Bmaj7
 Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne

         Dmaj9                                          Bmaj7
He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells painfully ringing

Dmaj9                   E
 Where's his limo ride?  Who's this foreign bride?

D               F#                        B
 Is that really Elvis spinning around the ceiling?

E                       F#
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

   E                                     B
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love

            F#                 E          B
What's this ring on his finger? Why is he kneeling?

              #                E               B
She's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

E                     D
 Chromosomes and genes spawn these fateful scenes

   E                           D
Evolution can be mean, there's no dumb-ass vaccine

E                         G
 Blame your DNA, you're a victim of your fate

E                             B
 It's human nature to miscalculate

   Dmaj9                       Bmaj7
To make up for the fight, they go out for the night

Dmaj9                                               Bmaj7
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll seem like the easiest answer

      Dmaj9                                         E
But a short nine months later, there's no way of concealing

     D                 F#               B
That permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

E                       F#
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

  E                              B
Amnesiac episodes that never go away

        F#               E             B
It's no complex mementos, not subtle revealings

       F#                E               B
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

F#                E               B
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

F#                E               B
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
