Six String Music
From the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_
By: Jimmy Buffett, G.E. Smith 
1994 

(intro:  D chords)

 D
Turn off the T.V. 
 D
Turn off the crap 
 D
Kick off your high heels 
 D
Climb up in my lap 

Chorus: 

               Bm
And I'll play music 
             A     D
A song from me to you 
                   Bm
Simple six string music 
          A      D
A ballad or the blues 

No interruptions 
From the telephone 
Don't need call waitin' 
Just you and me alone 

Chorus: 

And my six string music (six string music) 
A song from me to you 
Simple six string music (six string music) 
A ballad or the blues 

        G                    D
Oh I remember that night in Africa 
    G                         D
My daughter and my little guitar 
 G               D
Straddling the equator 
     G            A
The king of Zanzibar 
       G                D
Those shy black hidden faces 
             G                   D
They didn't know me from Adam's cat 
         Bm
But the words and the singin'

And the people in a ring
         G           Em        A
And the whole night went like that 

(instrumental:  D chords)

Now some folks like icing 
Some folks like cake 
Some swim in the ocean 
Some paddle in a lake 

Well you can get into Beethoven 
Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed 
But keep it simple stupid 
All we really need is 

Chorus: 

Six string music (six string music) 
A song from me to you 
Simple six string music (six string music) 
A ballad or the blues 

Six string music (six string music) 
Ain't no symphony 
It's just six string music (six string music) 
So elementary
