[Intro 1]
[G][D][A][G][D][A]
[G][D][A][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]I can't
get the sand out of my [G]shoes
Being in Florida has done a
[F#m]number on my [A]blues
Just the way the women walk
round' [G]here
Well, it's plain to see the way
the [F#m]sand and sea
Have done a number on [A]me

[Verse 2]
[G]And the sky is threatening [D]black and gray
And the [A]sun's a festering red
[G][Unverified]
She [D]had [A]risen from bed

[Verse 3]
So [G]breakfast, again
[D]Delayed, postponed,
[A]I won't be fed

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 4]
[A]The surf has swallowed [F#m]him up
[A]He's a [G]memory now
[D]The wa [G]ter is warmer
Then it [F#m]has been for weeks[A]

[Verse 5]
[A]Grandma lives just down the road
She making [G]supper for me tonight
She's been nice to me [F#m]since '73
When [A]his son lost his life

[Verse 6]
And [G]now his ghost is [D]a rising host
Above the [A]blinding blur
I [G]would have assume some
[D]maid would swoon
And his [A]soul would capture her
[Esus4]He's

[Verse 7]
[G]still a fine kid
What with [D]all that he did
[A]He's a fan of mine

[Interlude 2]
[A][G][D][F#m][A][G]
[F#m][A][G]
[F#m]
[A][G][D][A][G]
[D][A][G][D][A][G]
[D][F#m][Em][A]

[Verse 8]
I [A]wasn't planning to spend
So long in [G]town
But the break in the weather
Has [F#m]got the partner do[A]wn

[Verse 9]
[A]She won't get out, [unverified]
Seems [G]she's sewn to the seat
It's a dirty old trick that I'm [F#m]yet to lick
And she's [A]yet to beat

[Verse 10]
And you can [G]see it in her eyes
She was [D]born unwise,
she was [A]born for me
And [G]she morns too long
I'll know [D]something is wrong
and I'll [A]leave her be
[Em]I can

[Verse 11]
[G]see it in his shoes
He was [D]born to lose
He [A]was born for me

[Outro 1]
[A][G][F#m]
