🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD                 G+G
Walkin’ home from work because my car just wouldn’t start
A augmentedA               D MajorD
the way February’s hangin’ on it could break a poor man’s heart.
    D MajorD                   G+G
When I saw the lights from Andy’s bar I could swear I heard a bell
A augmentedA                  G**        D MajorD
next thing I knew I was at the door and I figured “what the hell”.

🎸 Verse 2:
   D MajorD                 G+G
As I stood there shaking off the snow I noticed my toes were numb
    A augmentedA                    D MajorD
but the jukebox was offering Boat Drinks and the bar was serving rum.
 D MajorD                     G+G
I picked a stool at the end of the bar and I sat there for awhile
     A augmentedA                     G**        D***
and as I started to take in the atmosphere
I’ll be damned if I didn’t smile.

🎸 Chorus:
       G+G      A7A7           D MajorD     D MajorD
This ain’t Duval Street
it’s just a one-horse town
G+G        A7A7          D MajorD          D MajorD
outside the snow is piling up and there’s no sign it’s slowin’ down.
     G+G      A7A7        F#7F#7        B minorBm  Bm*
With some 151 and some island music I’ll lose these winter blues
G+G      A7A7         D MajorD     D MajorD
this ain’t Duval Street
but I guess it’ll do.

🎸 Interlude:
 D MajorD       | G+G       | A augmentedA       | D MajorD       :
 D MajorD       | G+G       | A augmentedA       | G**  | D MajorD       :

🎸 Verse 3:
  D MajorD                    G+G
The room was filled with Hawaiian shirts and parkas draped over chairs
A augmentedA                    D MajorD
shark fin hats and bermuda shorts
your regular concert fare.
  D MajorD                   G+G
As I sat back and took in the view I was feeling safe and warm
A augmentedA             G**        D MajorD
on my one particular barstool no winter could do me harm.

🎸 Verse 4:
  D MajorD               G+G
The jukebox it was wailin’ and the drinks they sure were strong
A augmentedA                  D MajorD
someone played “Tin Cup Chalice” and we all just sang along.
   D MajorD                     G+G
As I closed my eyes and sang the words I could taste that salty air
A augmentedA               G**      D MajorD
my mind was going down A1A like I didn’t have a care.

End-🎸 Chorus:
       G+G      A7A7           D MajorD     D MajorD
This ain’t Duval Street
it’s just a one-horse town
G+G        A7A7          D MajorD          D MajorD
outside the snow is piling up and there’s no sign it’s slowin’ down.
     G+G      A7A7        F#7F#7        B minorBm  Bm*
With some 151 and some island music I’ll lose these winter blues
G+G      A7A7         D MajorD     D MajorD
this ain’t Duval Street
but I guess it’ll do.
G+G           A7A7         F#7F#7        B minorBm  Bm*
Now and then you gotta ask yourself “just what would Jimmy do ”
            G+G      A7A7         D***   A7* D*
he’d say “This ain’t Duval Street
but I guess it’ll do.”
