               SLACK TIDE
               JIMMY BUFFET

INTRO:
E A B Bsus4 B   E A B Bsus4 B


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

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


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

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

C#m7 B A E


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

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


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

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


INSTRUMENTAL:
C#m B A E
C#m E A E
C#m B A E


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

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


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

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


POST-CHORUS:
       A     E         B
I wish the whole wide world could swim along
     C#m7 E A E  C#m B A E
At slack tide


OUTRO:
   C#m           E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
A     E
 At slack tide
   C#m7           B       A E
Swim along, swim along, swim along, swim along
