@SONG: I Will Play For Gumbo
@ALBUM: Beach House On The Moon
I Will Play For Gumbo
By: Jimmy Buffett

INTRO: Cs

C
Hey I don't smoke I don't shoot smack

C
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back

C
Don't eat beignets too much sugar and dough

G      F        C
I will play for gumbo

    G      F        C
Hey I will play for gumbo

It started in my grandma's kitchen by the sea
That's where she told me "Jim the first one's free"
It hit me like a brick with some TaeKwonDo
Oh I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo

CHORUS:

F
A picturesque table with the white hot bowl

C
Good for the body, good for the soul

F
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

G
You should never know when you're gonna get it next

Like I told the people leaving Thibodaux
Hey I will play for gumbo
Oh I will play for gumbo

I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes
Or a pile of caviar that's a rich man's dreams
[insanely slurred lyrics something about drunk or Austin or banana split awesome?]
But I don't know
Oh I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo

SOLO: Cs and Gs

REPEAT CHORUS

It could be it's that sausage or those little pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
Maybe it's that voodoo from Haiti-O
But I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo

Now the Sauce Boss makes his cookin' from the stage
Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage
Swaying and sweating scared to his toes
Playing everyday with the gumbo
Swaying and playing with the gumbo

REPEAT CHORUS

From midnight in the Quarter to noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo
Hey I will play for gumbo

I will play for gumbo
I will play for gumbo

I have been messing around with "Gumbo" and I think there may be a chord
missing from the GCC version. I could be wrong, though. I think it may be
this:
    G      F        C
But I will play for gumbo
