Song

Coast of Carolina
WORDS AND MUSIC BY MAC MCANALLY/PERFORMED BY JIMMY BUFFETT
TABBED BY JIM LIBERATORE
Capo 2nd
D C9 G D C9 G D C9 G D (HOLD)
Little roadside restaurant we artfully complain 
Groovy tells the waitress that his chicken died in vain 
Most every day goes by according to design  
I live this dream and still it seems I have you on my mind 

Chorus:

From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb 
Or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side 
From the bottom of my heart.
D C9 G D C9 G D C9 G D (HOLD)
I can't see the future but I know it's coming fast 
It's not that hard to wind up knee-deep in the past 
There come alot of Mondays since that phone booth that first night 
Tears and miles and years and smiles I wanna get it right 
.
From the bottom of my heart 
Off the coast of Carolina 
After one or two false starts 
I believe we found our stride 
And the walls that won't come down 
We can decorate or climb 
Or find some way to get around 
Cause I'm still on your side 
From the bottom of my heart. 

Music Bridge

These days I get up about the time I used to go to bed 
Living large was once the deal now I watch the stars instead 
They're timeless and predictable unlike most things that I do 
I tell the wind and my old friend I'm headed home to you. 
From the bottom of my heart 
Off the coast of Carolina 
After one or two false starts 
I believe we found our stride 
And the walls that won't come down 
We can decorate or climb 
Or find some way to get around 
Cause I'm still on your side 
From the bottom of my heart. 
D C9 G D C9 G D C9 G D (HOLD)
