David Allan Coe - Jimmy Buffet Doesn't Live in Key West Anymore
This song is for all the people that’s ah, been reviewin’ our record
in different magazines and things. And mentionin’ the fact that,
we sound a lot like Jimmy Buffet. Because we live in Key West and
we use conga drums in our songs. And ah to all those people that,
are under the misconception that Mr. Buffet lives in Key West,
we’d like to say that there's a lot of things in Key West.
As a matter of fact…
E A E
There’s sailboats, and conch shells, and palm trees galore
B7 E
But Jimmy Buffet, Doesn't Live in Key West, Anymore.
E A
Sister’s spare change has a bumper sticker on the door
B7 E
Says Jimmy Buffet, Doesn't Live in Key West, Anymore.
E A
A smuggler hates those Buffet songs, snitching on his life
B7 E
Bringin’ heat were it’s already too damn hot to die
A
Son of a son of a son of a ^b***h^, what’s all that bulls**t for
B7 E
Jimmy Buffet, he don’t Live in Key West, Anymore.
E A
Sailing to the Caribbean, Jimmy might well be
B7 E
Pictures up in Rolling Stone for all the world to see
A
Rich keep getting richer, poor they just stay poor
B7 E
Jimmy Buffet, Doesn't Live in Key West, Anymore.
E A
Now Jimmy’s moved to Malibu, with all those other stars
B7 E
He’d not down on Dole Street, hangin’ out in bars
A
All them Goddamn tourists, got to be a bore
B7 E
Jimmy Buffet, Doesn't Live in Key West, Anymore.
A B7 E
So don’t tell me I sound like Jimmy Buffet
A B7 E
Just because I got that island beat
A B7 E
Jimmy might have grown up on the ocean
C#m B7
Me I kinda grown up on the street.
A B7 E A
Music’s just a way of life to me I’m livin’ free
B7 A E
So don’t lay all that Key West Jimmy Buffet, s**t on me.
E A
Now Divers Do It Deeper, must have really made them mad
B7 E
Some of them reviewers said it really sounded bad
A
Well they liked Margaritaville, and me I liked it too
B7 E
Someday Jimmy, Why Don’t We both just Get Drunk And Skrew.
A B7 E A
Oh all them creepy motherf**kers they think music is a w***e
B7 E
Tell ‘em that you just don’t live in Key West, anymore.
E A E
There’s sailboats, and conch shells, and palm trees galore
B7 E
But Jimmy Buffet, Doesn't Live in Key West, Anymore.
E A
Sister’s spare change has a bumper sticker on the door

i can listen to that over and over and over again
-gutfiddle | 7/28/2005 | *[These are simply chord illustrations/tabs based upon MY personal knowledge. In no way, shape nor form are ANY of my chords/tabs meant as any sort of insult to someone else's version/interpretation, nor am I saying anyone else is "wrong". Absolutely NO offense is intended :) ]*
**Also, just a reminder concerning my DAC chords/tabs** - Keep in mind, DAC change(d) his general tuning a lot depending upon the condition of his voice on any given day/night/particular album session(s)/etc. David's voice was sensitive to air-conditioning and/or the over-all condition of the air of a room/place in general, so there were times in which he would have to adjust accordingly (again, studio AND/OR live). Also, take note that David capo's @ the 3rd fret EXTREMELY often and has been doing so for decades. Most of my Coe chord transcr i ptions (and tabs for solo's, etc.) are accurate to the way that David/the DAC BAND played/performed them for many, many years (I know from personal experience & that's all I will say regarding that) - Again, depending on your voice, you may have to experiment with capo position(s) until you find the tuning/positioning that suits YOUR voice best. My DAC chords should easily work in any form of standardized tuning (ie...standard E tuning, half-step down, whole-step down + use of capo as desired/necessary). If anyone has any questions or any DAC requests, feel free to email me: m-i-k-d-a-v-r-u-t-AT-g-m-a-i-l-DOT-c-o-m Leave out all hyphens & use proper symbols, of course):

-MDRutherford | 3/13/2015 | Sorry that the chord notations did not paste correctly over the proper word(s) in which the chord change(s) take place. I may create a simple site just for DAC chords AND include proper solo tablature, etc. In the meantime, if anyone needs chords or a tab, shoot me an email.
