Where ya know he’ll be Scheming

At one Particular Harbor

Just like old sailors did

And to leave that work where it belongs because it’s
F C D
5 o’clock somewhere.
[Bridge]
Bm
So its Time to compartmentalize
G
Not to over analyze
C
The Man lived life like it was a school is session
Bm
Turning bad times into good times
G
With sunny tunes and funny rhymes
D
He made chilling in shorts and flip flops a profession
[Chorus]

He s siting at Bama Breeze
D
Havana day Dreaming
A
he’ll head to Margaritaville
D
Where ya know he’ll be scheming
G
About a way to hang in Livingston
D
The Captain and the kid
A
At one Particular Harbor
D
Just like old sailors did
G
And when Monday comes It’ll be al right
D G
Well all get through the day
D
Cus were Parrotheads
C F C D
And Jimmys the gift who will sing the BLUES away.
