  C majorC
The wind is in from Africa
G+G
Last night I couldn't sleep
        FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
     G+G
But it's really not my home
C majorC                 G+G
 My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
   FF          C majorC      G+G
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne

           C majorC
Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
           G+G
And I'll put on some silver
FF          G+G
Oh you're a mean old Mama
      C majorC
But I like you

          C majorC
Come on down to the Mermaid Café and I will
G+G
Buy you a bottle of wine
     FF         C majorC           G+G
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
       C majorC
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
 G+G
A augmentedA round for these friends of mine
       FF                C majorC
Let's have a nother round for the bright red devil
       Gsus4Gsus4
Who keeps me in this tourist town

           C majorC
Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
           G+G
And I'll put on some silver
FF          G+G
Oh you're a mean old Mama
      C majorC
But I like you  I like you

Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
G+G
Maybe I'll go to Rome
  FF         C majorC
And rent me a grand pi ano
       G+G
And put some camels 'round my room
C majorC
Let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
  G+G
The night is a starry dome
      FF           C majorC
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
      G+G
Beneath the Matala Moon


           C majorC
Ah Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
           G+G
And I'll put on some silver
FF         C majorC

But you're out of sight
