Nothing But A Breeze
Jimmy Buffett

Intro: E-A-B7-E

E
Life is much too short for some folks 
A                             E
For other folks it just drags on 

Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey 
A                          B7 
Others figure tea is too strong 

E
I'm the type of guy who likes it right down the middle 
                       A                 E
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth 
                            A
Me, I want to live with my feet in Dixie 
        B7                     E
And my head in the cool blue North 

E
In a small suburban garden 
A                                E
Not a single neighbor knows our name 

I know the woman wishes we would move somewhere 
A                                B7
Where the houses aren't all the same 

       E
Jimmy, I wish you would take me 

Where the grass is greener 
    A                           E
I really couldn't say where it may be 
                         A
Somewhere up high on a mountain top 
     B7                   E
Or down by the deep blue sea 

      A                 B7         E 
And there we'll do just as we please 
    Fm                  B7 
It ain't nothing but a breeze 

E
One day I'll soon be a grandpa 
A                                   E
All the pretty girls will call me sir, 

Now, where they're asking me how things are 
 A                              B7
Soon they'll ask me how things were 

      E
Well, I don't mind being an old gray grandpa 
A                       E
If you'll be my gray grandma 
                                    A
But I suggest we go have our cool conch salad 
  B7                  D
Shaved down in old Nassau.

                                A
Yea, me I want to live with my FLIP FLOPS in Dixie 
        B7                     E 
And my head in the cool blue North
