Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][Am][G]
[C]By:[G]

[Verse 1]
[C][Am]
[G]jim[A]my buffett[D]
1970
As large as life she stood there
Kissed my cheek and called my old nick
[C]name[Am][G][C][Am][G][Am][G]
[A]And though several years had passed
Both of us still looked quite the [D]same
I said hi relaxed a bit
Then asked her how she'd been all these
[C]years[Am][G][C][G][C][Am][G][Am]
[G]She [A]told me she was feeling fine

[Interlude 1]
Came to see a friend who lived up here
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Told me she had finished school
And then went on to college
for a [C]year[G][C][G][C][Am][G]
I [A]asked if she had married
Slowly down her cheek
there came a [D]tear
She said just an itchy eye
It must be the weather way up
[C]here[Am][G][C][Am][G]
[A]Told her I can't stand the cold
It freezes me and I can't feel my ears
[D]

[Verse 3]
We talked a bit about mobile
And thought about how it has never
[C]changed[Am][G][F][G][C][Am][G]
[A]I told her I was a comin' home
To spend some time and
hoped it wouldn't [D]rain
She asked if she could see me then
And we could spend some time
now and [C]then[Am][G][C][Am][G]
Be[A]cause I lived so far away
Was still no chance why we
could not be [D]friends

[Verse 4]
[D]
I drove her to the waiting plane
Watched that big jet streaking through the
[C]sky[Am][G][C][Am][G][Am][G]
[A]Thought about the sad young girl
And the time that I just saw her [D]cry
That flame must still be burning bright
I think I'll catch a later flight
[C]today[G][C][Am][G][Am]
[G]It's tim[A]e for me to go on home

[Outro 1]
And spend a day or two down by the bay
[D]
