Something So Feminine About A Mandolin
By: Jimmy Buffett & Jane Slagsvol Buffett (wife) - 1975

E                                  A         E
It was late in the evenin', just a few of us pickin'
        A        E         A        B    E  B 
But the lady she played so easy and fine
         E                                A          E
And the chords that she strummed were so tastefully clever
     F#m          Abm     F#m  Em
They planted this song in my   mind

Chorus:
                                          A       E
     'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin
         A             E         A             B    E  B
     The way that they feel, the way that they ring
             E                    A   
     Just to see slender fingers, movin' so quickly
     F#m       Abm      F#m  E
     Made this boy want to   sing


And when I get older and I have a daughter
I'll teach her to sing and play her my songs
And I'll tell her some stories I can barely remember
And hope that she will sing along

And maybe one day she'll take a fancy to pickin'
'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting
And if she could just strum a few simple measures
She could make some young man sing

'Cause there's somethin' so feminine about a mandolin
Way that they feel, the way that they ring
And that evenin' in a pasture somewhere near Austin
That mandolin made me sing

Her mandolin made me sing

Nice song off a great album (Havana Daydreamin')

I always slip back the E chord on "quickly" in the chorus.
