Six String Music
>From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_
By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith
1994

(intro:  D chords)

 D
Turn off the T.V.
 D
Turn off the crap
 D
Kick off your high heels
 D
Climb up in my lap

Chorus:

               Bm
And I'll play music
             A     D
A song from me to you
                   Bm
Simple six string music
          A      D
A ballad or the blues

No interruptions
>From the telephone
Don't need call waitin'
Just you and me alone

Chorus:

And my six string music (six string music)
A song from me to you
Simple six string music (six string music)
A ballad or the blues

        G                    D
Oh I remember that night in Africa
    G                         D
My daughter and my little guitar
 G               D
Straddling the equator
     G            A
The king of Zanzibar
       G                D
Those shy black hidden faces
             G                   D
They didn't know me from Adam's cat
         Bm
But the words and the singin'

And the people in a ring
         G           Em        A
And the whole night went like that

(instrumental:  D chords)

Now some folks like icing
Some folks like cake
Some swim in the ocean
Some paddle in a lake

Well you can get into Beethoven
Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed
But keep it simple stupid
All we really need is

Chorus:

Six string music (six string music)
A song from me to you
Simple six string music (six string music)
A ballad or the blues

Six string music (six string music)
Ain't no symphony
It's just six string music (six string music)
So elementary

Chords:
D - |xxo232|
Bm - |xxo432|
A - |oo222o|
G - |32ooo3|
Em - |o22ooo|
