SONG: SLACK TIDE ARTIST: JIMMY BUFFETT TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] JIMMY BUFFET INTRO: E A B Bsus4 B E A B Bsus4 B VERSE:
      B     A           E
I've got a fish on the line

           B           E
But there won't be a feast

           A          E
We've got too much in common

         B          E
And he shall be released

           A           E
I've seen day turn to night

                  B          E
And watched the changin' of seasons

  A                E
Things don't just happen

      B           C#m    C#m
They happen for a reason
CHORUS:
C#m          A        E
Maybe we'll meet in Exuma

    B           E
Or down in the Keys

      A               E
If I catch the right current

    B          E
Or capture a breeze

          A              E
Out here conflicts and chaos

     B         E
Completely subside

         A               E
Sailin' back to where I came from

B               C#m7  E A E
  Back to slack tide
C#m7 B A E BREAK:
         Am                 E                A  E
Well, I think it's time to put some snorkels on

           Am         E
Turn your feet into flippers

F#7               B
Have some primal fun

  A            E            B            A
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade

 F#m           E               A           B   B
Find an empty hammock, take a nap in the shade
CHORUS:
           A             E
You can't hold back the moon

                B       E
Can't stop the ebb and flow

     A           E
The water still comes

         B           E
And the water still goes

          A            E
It turns mountains to sand

          B            E
Gave ol' Noah his big ride

          A              E
Then he dropped off his passengers

 B            C#m  E A E
Down at slack tide
INSTRUMENTAL: C#m B A E C#m E A E C#m B A E VERSE:
            A       E
I can't control anybody

 B            E
Other than myself

             A            E
Leave those half empty thoughts

     B           E
High up on the shelf

        A            E
If you cut me some slack

 B               E
I'll return the favor

           A              E
Open that bottle of fine rum

        B     B         C#m
That together,  we will savor
CHORUS:
           A              E
Well, we could use some quiet

          B            E
We could use a little calm

          A            E
Find the good in everybody

             B         E
Share that "one love" balm

            A            E
Watch the predators and prey

       B            E
Swim along side by side

            A            E
'Neath the blue sky and mangroves

 B            C#m   C#m
Down at slack tide
POST-CHORUS:
             A         E                 B
I wish the whole wide world could swim along

         C#m7  E A E   C#m B A E
At slack tide
OUTRO:
      C#m                      E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along

A          E
 At slack tide

      C#m7                     B              A E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
