Six String Music

>From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_

By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith

1994

(intro: D chords)

Turn off the T.V.

Turn off the crap

Kick off your high heels

Climb up in my lap

And I'll play music

A song from me to you

Simple six string music

A ballad or the blues

No interruptions

>From the telephone

Don't need call waitin'

Just you and me alone

And my six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

Oh I remember that night in Africa

My daughter and my little guitar

Straddling the equator

The king of Zanzibar

Those shy black hidden faces

They didn't know me from Adam's cat

But the words and the singin'

And the people in a ring

And the whole night went like that

(instrumental: D chords)

Now some folks like icing

Some folks like cake

Some swim in the ocean

Some paddle in a lake

Well you can get into Beethoven

Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed

But keep it simple stupid

All we really need is

Six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

Six string music (six string music)

Ain't no symphony

It's just six string music (six string music)

So elementary
