A Lot to Drink About Tabs & Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett
A Lot to Drink About
guitar tabs lyrics
Intro Chords: C
Verse 1
C
Up on the East side of Manhattan,
F C
They�re still dancing with the stars.
F C
While over in sub prime city,
G
It�s getting angry in the local bars
F C
Watching the news only gives me the blues
Am
There�s too much going wrong.
F C
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
G C
and write a high speed drinking song.
Verse 2
Millionaires losing everything.
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,
But, you get to keep your wife!
And don�t forget the automakers
swimming up stream like a trout.
They let the shi* hit the fan
and then they made a plan
We�ve got a lot to drink about.
-
Chorus
F
It�s the price of oil,
C
the war of the spoils.
Am
Where�s your bucket for the big bailout?
F C
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We�ve got a lot to drink about.
-
Verse 3
Now, Madoff made off with all the money.
Now his clients are down to skunk weed.
Repeat after me, it�s so easy to see
We�re only talking simple greed.
And those Somalian pirates are counting all the gold.
While Bush and Cheney ain�t around
and all the good lookers seem to be Czech hookers
from Key West to London town.

Chorus 2
-
Bridge
Bb F
So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,
Bb F
pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
Bb
That loud mouth soup
F
gets me kind of looped
D G
Tequila, of course I�ll have some!
Verse 4
Now the family devalues
and little children count their net worth
and the truth wherever it�s hiding,
can be found on Google Earth.
Citibank�s buying jets with our money.
I wanna flog �em with a buggy whip.
I hope Obama and Joe won�t let the volcano blow
and patch the hole in our sinking ship.

Chorus

Outro (Verse)
Recession, Depression, the question good God
CNN keeps bumming me out.
I can�t take another doomsday moment.
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,
a lot to drink about.
