Jimmy Buffett – Turnabout (Guitar)

E
As large as life she stood there

                                      D   B A B A D B A B A
Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname

B
And though several years had passed

                                  E
Both of us still looked quite the same

E
I said hi relaxed a bit

                                        D    B A B A D B A B A
Then asked her how she'd been all these years

    B
She told me she was feeling fine

                                  E
Came to see a friend who lived up here

E
Told me she had finished school

                                  D   B A B A D B A B A
And then went on to college for a year

  B
I asked if she had married

                                   E
Slowly down her cheek there came a tear

E
She said just an itchy eye

                              D   B A B A D B A B A
It must be the weather way up here

B
Told her I can't stand the cold

                                  E
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears

E
We talked a bit about Mobile

                                       D   B A B A D B A B A
And thought about how it has never changed

  B
I told her I was a comin' home

                                         E
To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain

E
She asked if she could see me then

                                     D   B A B A D B A B A
And we could spend some time now and then

  B
Because I lived so far away

                                        E
Was still no chance why we could not be friends

E
I drove her to the waiting plane

                                           D  B A B A  D B A B A
Watched that big jet streaking through the sky

B
Thought about the sad young girl

                                 E
And the time that I just saw her cry

E
That flame must still be burning bright

                                    D   B A B A D B A B A
I think I'll catch a later flight today

     B
It's time for me to go on home

                                   E
And spend a day or two down by the bay
