    C
The wind is in from Africa
G
Last night I couldn't sleep
                F       Fmaj7   C
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
         G
But it's really not my home
C                                  G
  My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
      F                   C            G
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne

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

                    C
Come on down to the Mermaid Café and I will
G
Buy you a bottle of wine
          F                  C                     G
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
             C
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
  G
A round for these friends of mine
             F                               C
Let's have a nother round for the bright red devil
             Gsus4
Who keeps me in this tourist town

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

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



                      C
Ah Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
                     G
And I'll put on some silver
F                 C
Go to the Mermaid Café
     G      C
Have fun to night

F                    G
Oh you're a mean old Mama
                  C
But you're out of sight
