Chords

================================ By Jimmy Buffett Intro: G D A D
D
I pulled into the regular pump

      G                D
I was feelin' quite at ease

                                          E                  A
I rolled down my window and told the man, "Fifty cents worth please"

 G                                  D
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun

          D              D               A                 D
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run"
Chorus:
              G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here

      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer

          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here

                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup

      A               D
     Cost me two good years

D
We got fifteen dollars

      G      D
And a can of STP

                                  E         A
A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV

G                                 D
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career

      D                 D
We're wanted men, we'll strike again,

A                      D
But first let's have a beer

              G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here

      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer

          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here

                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup

      A               D
     Cost me two good years

        D
We were sittin' in the Krystal

         G                 D
About as drunk as we could be

G
In walked the deputy sheriff

         E           A
And he's holdin' our TV

G                    D
He roughed us and he cuffed us

       D              G
And he took us off to jail

D               A                        D
No picture on a poster, no reward and no bail
(Repeat chorus and fade)
           G            A                   D
     And now I wish I was somewhere other than here

      G            A           E           A
     Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer

          G            A                   D
     Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here

                G                     D
     Cause that great fillin' station holdup

      A               D
     Cost me two good years
