Written by Jimmy Buffett & Roger Guth Recorded by Jimmy Buffett [Intro] Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em [Verse 1]
Em
Every sailor's son is taught when they are young

          Bm                      A
That the pull of the moon lingers on

 Em                             C                G
Something we can't escape from Bimini round the Cape

            D           D/A            D
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along

Em
To whom it may concern, I've always tried to learn

          Bm                A
That the good days need to last

 Em
Season with a lot of laughter

          C                    D         D/A                D
Here and then ever after with poetry and painters from our past
[Chorus]
      A          Bm       G                D
So I follow the tides on currents falling wild

 Bm               G              A
Chalking up the stories and the miles

                   Bm     G       D
Yes, I follow the tides, big blue rides

               Bm             G              D
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile
[Verse 2]
Em
Hoping to catch a wave, looking to misbehave

      Bm                                A
As my lucky star still shine above the sea

 Em                                     C
Watching the ships roll in, I play that Otis song again

          D               D/A              D
For the tourists and some mermaids by the sea
[Chorus]
       A          Bm             G                  D
And I follow the tides, down my song lines far and wide

 Bm                  G                A
World to me should still be free and wild

                   Bm             G            D
Yes, I follow the tides, give me more big blue rides

               Bm             G              D
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile

Em
Every sailor's son is taught when they are young

          Bm                      A
That the pull of the moon lingers on

 Em                                    C             G
Something we can't escape, is it salt water or just fate?

            D           D/A            D
Mixing the wind and the sea and sing along
[Chorus]
           A         Bm             G                 D
And we'll follow the tides, down a song line far and wide

    Bm             G                     A
It seems to me my life's still free and wild

                       Bm             G            D
Yes, we'll follow the tides, give us more big blue rides

               Bm             G             D
And that's the reason I will never lose my smile
[Outro]
               Bm                 G                D
And that's the reason you should never lose your smile
Em A Bm A C G D
