Landfall Ukulele chords by Jimmy Buffett

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:

G A C G x4


Verse:

  G        A    C     G
Now what would they do if I just sailed away
        A         C     G
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today
         A      C     G
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball
        A    C      G
What would they do if I made no landfall

 G       A     C       G
I lived half my life in an eight by five room
          A      C     G
Just crusin' to the sound of the big diesel boom
         A      C       G
It's not close quarters that would make me snap
              A     C    G
It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap


Chorus:

   Em     A     G
Sail away, for a month at a time
   Em         A     G
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind
      A         G
And you'll find me back at it again


G C A G


Verse:

   G     A       C       G
Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light
       A         C       G
What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night
        A      C      G
The mid-morning watch is the best time to look
          A    C     G
Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

    G     A     C       G
'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years
        A      c      G
Some days were laughter and others were tears
       A     C  G
If I had it all to do over again
           A       C       G
I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in


Chorus:

   Em        A    G
Sail away, that's the way I survive
   Em         A      G
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive
     A            G
It just makes my whole life come alive

  G       A        C     G
The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night
       A       C        G
Crazy crowds boogie to the sounds and the lights
       A        C     G
Bums down in Capo's he's just havin' a ball
        A  C      G
What would he do on another landfall
        A    C      G
What would they do if I made no landfall
          A    C    G
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal
       A   C      G
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball
       A       C      G
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all
        A       C      G
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all

Outro:: G A C G x2
