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

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

🎸 Chorus:
             G           A7                      D          D
This ain’t Duval Street
it’s just a one-horse town
G                A7                    D                    D
outside the snow is piling up and there’s no sign it’s slowin’ down.
          G            A7                F#7               Bm    Bm*
With some 151 and some island music I’ll lose these winter blues
G           A7                  D          D
this ain’t Duval Street
but I guess it’ll do.

🎸 Interlude:
 D             | G             | A             | D             :
 D             | G             | A             | G**   | D             :

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

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

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