When The Coast Is Clear chords by Jimmy Buffett

Verse 1:

 G           Am
They're closin' down the hangout

  G       C
The air is turnin' cool

 Em          Am
They're shuttin' off the superslide

  C        D
The kids are back in school


  G         Am
The tourist traps are empty

  G     C
Vacancy abounds

 Em      Am
Almost like it used to be

      C       D
Before the circus came to town


Chorus:

 Em          Am
That's when it always happens

   Em       C
The same time every year

G    Em7   Em   Am  F
I come down to talk to me

G         C
When the coast is clear


Verse 2:

 G        Am
Hello mister other me

   G        C
It's been a long long time

 Em          Am
We hardly get to have these chats

     C      D
That in itself's a crime


  G        Am
So tell me all your troubles

   G        C
I'll surely tell you mine

    Em        Am
We'll laugh and smoke and cuss and joke and

   C       D
And Have a glass of wine


Chorus:

Em          Am
That's when it always happens

   Em       C
The same time every year

G    Em7   Em   Am  F
I come down to talk to me

G         C
When the coast is clear


instrumental:


(It's the only place he knows)

Em        Am
Where it always happens

   Em       C
The same place every year

G    Em7  Em   Am   F
I still come down to talk to me

G         C
When the coast is clear
