The Wino and I Know
Jimmy Buffett

Intro: G+G G MajorG C majorC G+G G MajorG C majorC G+G

G+G
The ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan
G+G
Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow
C majorC
Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet
G+G
To a rhythm that only he knows
     B minorBm         C majorC
And I've seen him in so many places
 B minorBm           FF  D MajorD
I saw him the night I was born
D MajorD  G+G
In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar
    D MajorD     C majorC      G+G
From an old man so tattered and torn

Chorus:
    C majorC
And the wino and I know the pain of street singin'
G+G
Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'
D MajorD         C majorC
Strange situation, wild occupation
C majorC           G+G
Livin' my life like a song

G+G
The coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde
G+G
The donuts are too hot to touch
C majorC
Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
G+G
I eat till I eat way too much
      B minorBm           C majorC
'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me
    B minorBm          FF  D MajorD
Be they pastry, lobster or love
D MajorD    G+G
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy
   D MajorD       C majorC      G+G
In a world full of pushin' and shovin'

Chorus:
    C majorC
And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'
G+G
Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'
D MajorD         C majorC
Strange situation, wild occupation
C majorC           G+G
Livin' my life like a song

D MajorD            C majorC        G+G
Sweet senorita won't you please come with me
D MajorD             C majorC      G+G
Back to the island honey, back to the sea
D MajorD              C majorC     D MajorD
Back to the only place that I want to be

Chorus:
C majorC
And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
G+G
Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
D MajorD         C majorC
Strange situation, wild occupation
C majorC           G+G
Livin' my life like a song
      D MajorD         C majorC
Yes it's a strange situation, wild occupation
C majorC           G+G
Livin' my life like a song
