               SLACK TIDE
               JIMMY BUFFET

INTRO:
E MajorE A augmentedA BB Bsus4Bsus4 BB   E MajorE A augmentedA BB Bsus4Bsus4 BB


VERSE:
   BB   A augmentedA      E MajorE
I`ve got a fish on the line
      BB      E MajorE
But there won`t be a feast
      A augmentedA     E MajorE
We`ve got too much in common
     BB     E MajorE
And he shall be released

      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I`ve seen day turn to night
         BB     E MajorE
And watched the changin` of seasons
 A augmentedA        E MajorE
Things don`t just happen
   BB      C# minorC#m  C# minorC#m
They happen for a reason

CHORUS:
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    E MajorE
Maybe we`ll meet in Exuma
  BB      E MajorE
Or down in the Keys
   A augmentedA        E MajorE
If I catch the right current
  BB     E MajorE
Or capture a breeze

     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Out here conflicts and chaos
   BB     E MajorE
Completely subside
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Sailin` back to where I came from
BB        C#m7C#m7 E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
 Back to slack tide

C#m7C#m7 BB A augmentedA E MajorE

BREAK:
     A minorAm         E MajorE        A augmentedA E MajorE
Well, I think it`s time to put some snorkels on
      A minorAm     E MajorE
Turn your feet into flippers
F#7F#7        BB
Have some primal fun

 A augmentedA      E MajorE      BB      A augmentedA
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
 F# minorF#m      E MajorE        A augmentedA      BB  BB
Find an empty hammock, take a nap in the shade


CHORUS:
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
You can`t hold back the moon
        BB    E MajorE
Can`t stop the ebb and flow
   A augmentedA      E MajorE
The water still comes
     BB      E MajorE
And the water still goes

     A augmentedA      E MajorE
It turns mountains to sand
     BB      E MajorE
Gave ol` Noah his big ride
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Then he dropped off his passengers
 BB      C# minorC#m E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Down at slack tide


INSTRUMENTAL:
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA E MajorE
C# minorC#m E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA E MajorE


VERSE:
      A augmentedA    E MajorE
I can`t control anybody
 BB      E MajorE
Other than myself
       A augmentedA      E MajorE
Leave those half empty thoughts
   BB      E MajorE
High up on the shelf

    A augmentedA      E MajorE
If you cut me some slack
 BB        E MajorE
I`ll return the favor
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Open that bottle of fine rum
    BB   BB     C# minorC#m
That together, we will savor


CHORUS:
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Well, we could use some quiet
     BB      E MajorE
We could use a little calm
     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Find the good in everybody
       BB     E MajorE
Share that `one love` balm

      A augmentedA      E MajorE
Watch the predators and prey
    BB      E MajorE
Swim along side by side
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
`Neath the blue sky and mangroves
 BB      C# minorC#m  C# minorC#m
Down at slack tide


POST-CHORUS:
       A augmentedA     E MajorE         BB
I wish the whole wide world could swim along
     C#m7C#m7 E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE  C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA E MajorE
At slack tide


OUTRO:
   C# minorC#m           E MajorE
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
A augmentedA     E MajorE
 At slack tide
   C#m7C#m7           BB       A augmentedA E MajorE
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
