Last Mango In Paris
By Jimmy Buffett
E A
I went down to Captain Tony's
E A
To get out of the heat
E A
I heard a voice call out to me
E A
"Son come have a seat"
C#m F#m
I had to search my memory
C#m A
As I looked into those eyes
C#m F#m
Our lives have changed like the weather
B
But a legend never dies
Chorus:
E A
I ate the last mango in Paris
B E
Took the last plane out of Saigon
C#m F#m
I took the first fast boat to China
A B E
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
I had a third world girl in Buzios
With a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered
As we roamed from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall Street
With my high fashion model wife
'till I woke up dry beneath the African sky
Just me and my Swiss Army knife
Chorus:
We shot the breeze for hours
As the sun fell from the sky
And like the sun he disappeared
Before my very eyes
It was somewhere past dark-thirty
And I went back to the head
I read upon the dingy wall
The words the old man said
Chorus: 2x
