Jolly Mon

Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley



Intro:

D   A7 D  A7 D


D   
There is a tale that the island people tell
                               A7         D
Don't know if it is true but I love it so well

Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night 
                               A7             D
People fed him well 'cause he treated 'em so right

     
    CHORUS:
       G    F#m  Em    A         D           
       Whoa whoa whoa, Jolly Mon sing    
       G    F#m  Em    A         D   
       Whoa whoa whoa, make Orion ring


Well he always like to go to the islands near and far
He always found his way by Orion, lucky star
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
They'd love to see him come and they'd hate to see him go

    CHORUS

He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help and he saw the passing light
When he reached the other boat, offered them a hand
They said give us all your cargo as they took a pirate
 stand

    CHORUS

Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well
They tossed him in the ocean 'cause their hearts were made 
 in hell
Came along a dolphin, he said Jolly Mon, hello
I've always loved your singin' climb on board,
 don't let go

    CHORUS

  INSTRUMENTAL

The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
They swam into the heavens and they stayed up in the sky
And all the island people when they wish upon a star
See the dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they
 are

    CHORUS (3x)

G     F#m    Em      A         D    
Whoa___________ Whoa__________ 
D    A/C#   Bm      A
Whoa_________ Whoa_________
G     F#m    Em   A         D
Whoa___________   Jolly Mon sing
