Life Is Just A Tire Swing
-------------------------
[Words and Music by Jimmy Buffett (c) 1974]
Intro: Bm
[tab] G A D
I remember the smell of the creosote plant,[/tab]
[tab] E F#m Gdim E7 A Bm Cdim A
when we'd have to eat on Easter with my crazy old uncle and aunt.[/tab]
[tab]G A D
They lived in a big house Antebellum style,[/tab]
[tab] G D G D
and the wind would blow across the old bayou,[/tab]
[tab] A D
and I was a tranquil little child.[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab] D Bm
Life was just a tire swing.[/tab]
[tab] G D
'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing.[/tab]
[tab] G D
Black-berry pickin', eatin' fried chicken,[/tab]
[tab] G D A
and I never knew a thing about pain;[/tab]
[tab] Bm
Life was just a tire swing.[/tab]
2.
In a few summers my folks packed me off to camp;
yeah, me and my cousin' Baxter in our pup tent with a lamp.
And in a few days Baxter went home, and he left me by myself.
And I knew that I'd stay, it was better that way,
and I could get along without any help.
(2nd chorus)
Life was just a tire swing.
'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing.
Chasin' after sparrows with rubber-tipped arrows,
knowin' I could never hurt a thing,
and life was just a tire swing.
(then continue)
[tab]Bm G F#m Em D
And I've never been west of New Orleans nor east of Pensacola.[/tab]
[tab] G F#m E7 A
My only contact with the outside world was an R.C.A. Victrola.[/tab]
[tab] Bm A
And Elvis would sing and then I'd dream about expensive cars,[/tab]
[tab] E7
and who would've figured twenty years later[/tab]
[tab] A E7 F#m7
I'd be rubbin' shoulders with the stars.[/tab]
[tab] Bm
Life was just a tire swing.[/tab]
3.
Then the other morning on some Illinois road
I fell asleep at the wheel,
But was quickly wakened up by a 'Ma Bell' telephone pole,
and a bunch of Grant Wood faces screaming 'Is he still alive?',
But through the window I could see it hangin' from a tree,
and I knew that I had survived.
(3rd chorus)
Life was just a tire swing.
'Jambalaya's still the best song that I sing.
Black-berry pickin', eatin' fried chicken,
and I finally learned a lot about pain,
'cause life is just a tire swing.
Life was just a tire swing.
