Jimmy Buffett – University Of Bourbon Street (Guitar)

C
I guess the point of goin' to college

        F                      C
Was to acquire myself a little knowledge

C
And help me figure out

     G7                   C7
What life was really all about

        F
It made Peets and J.D. happy

    F#dim
And set me wild and free

       C
Then I danced out of Mississippi

A7           D7      G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street

C
I sang, "Hey Pocky A-way"

       F                  C
On the streetcar headed uptown

C
I went to class every day

G7
And never wore a frown

      C
I was taught by the Neville Brothers

      F               F#dim
Benny Spellman, and a whole lotta others

     C                   A7
That brass brand blew my mind

       D7            G7     C
When I joined in the second line

           F
I felt the power of the gris-gris

       F#dim      Am     Cdim
Got my soul saved by the backbeat

      C                 A7
I was branded by Jean Lafitte

          D          G       C
At the University of Bourbon Street

  Bb                    C
I sang on a paddlewheel boat

Bb                       C
Floated down the Mississippi

Bb             F          C
Helped build a Mardi Gras float

             G7
And smoked a joint with a beautiful hippie

          C
I heard a church choir sing

C
"Change my guitar strings"

        F
Thought things just couldn't get better

       C                     A7
'Til I walked to the Central Grocery

    Dm           G    C
And had myself a muffaletta

          F
I took my lunchbox to the streetcar

     F#dim               Cdim
That Tennessee named, "Desire"

       C                   A7
Then I followed my dancin' feet

          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street

C
Yeah, we got high-class, low-rent Voodoo information

C
Pat O'Brien's hurricane accreditation

C
Old-school sex education

    G
And I learned how to eat

         C
From the music and the people

C
To the cookin' and the joy

   F7                  F#
It really ain't a mystery

C                          A7
I just followed my dancin' feet

          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street

                      A7
I got my Lucky Dog Ph.D.

          D7         G7      C
At the University of Bourbon Street

                                 A7
Yeah, I just followed my dancin' feet

          D7         G7      C
To the University of Bourbon Street

                         A7
And a Po' Boy Master's Degree

          D7         G7      C
At the University of Bourbon Street

     A7
It's all sweet, darling

   D7         G7      C

Hand me that umbrella

          A7
