If The Phone Doesn't Ring Its Me chords by Jimmy Buffett

Chords with lyrics

"If the Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me" by Jimmy Buffett
>From "The Last Mango in Paris" album
Submitted by Richard Burchett


I wrote the intro-melody part out in tab format.  This part needs to be
played by finger-picking.  The chords above the tab usually give an easy
reference to the proper positioning of the left hand while the individual
notes are played.

Intro-melody:
           (Chord diagramC majorC)                           (Chord diagramE minorEm)           (Chord diagramFF)           (repeat
2x)

That's All.  Once again, this song sounds much better if you finger-pick it.
 Also, it's a  nice touch to add a high "g" note to the Chord diagramE minorEm chords.
