A Lot To Drink About by Jimmy Buffett

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.

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.
