{c:Intro}
[/] [F] [/] [C] [G] [/] [F] [C] [/] [G] [C] [/]


The [/] [C] wind is in from [/] Africa [/] 
[/] [G] Last night I couldn't [/] sleep
Oh you know it [/] [F] sure is hard to [/] [C] leave here Carey
But it's really [/] [G] not my home [/] [Gsus4] [G] [/] 


[/] [C] My fingernails are fil- [/] thy
I’ve got [/] [G] beach tar on my [/] feet
And I [/] [F] miss my clean white [/] [C] linen
And my fancy [/] [G] French cologne [/] [Gsus4][G]


{soc}
Oh [/] [G] Carey get out your cane [/] [C] (Carey get out your...) [/] 
[/] [C] I'll put on some [/] [G] silver (I’ll put on some...) [/] 
[/] [F] Oh you're a mean old [/] [C] Daddy but [G] I like [/]                     
[/] [C] you  [/] [Csus4]  [C]  [/] [Csus4] [/] [Csus4] [C] 
{eoc}


Come on [/] [C] down to the Mermaid [/] Café
And I will [/] [G] buy you a bottle of [/] wine
And we'll [/] [F] laugh and toast to [/] [C] nothing
And smash our [/] [G] empty glasses [/] [Gsus4] down [G]


Let's have a [/] [C] round for these freaks and [/] these soldiers
A [/] [G] round for these friends of [/] mine
Let's have another [/] [F] round for the bright red [/] [C] devil
Who keeps me [/] [G] in this tourist town [/] [Gsus4][G]


{soc}
Oh [/] [G] Carey get out your [/] [C] cane (Carey get out your...) [/] 
[/] [C] I'll put on some [/] [G] silver (I’ll put on some...) [/] 
[/] [F] Oh you're a mean old [/] [C] Daddy but [G] I like [/]                      
[/] [C] you, I like you, I [/] like you, I like [/] [Csus4] [/] [Csus4] [C] 
{eoc}


[/] [C] Maybe I'll go to [/] Amsterdam
Or [/] [G] maybe I'll go to [/] Rome
And [/] [F] rent me a grand pi- [/] [C]ano
And put some flowers [/] [G] ‘round my room [/] [Gsus4][G]


But [/] [C] let's not talk about [/] fare-thee-wells now
The [/] [G] night is a starry [/] dome
And they're [/] [F] playin' that scratchy [/] [C] rock and roll
Beneath the [/] [G] Matalla Moon [/] [Gsus4][G]


{soc}
Oh [/] [G] Carey get out your cane [/] [C] (Carey get out your...) [/] 
[/] [C] I'll put on some [/] [G] silver (I’ll put on some...) [/] 
[/] [F] Oh you're a mean old [/] [C] Daddy but [G] I like [/]                     
[/] [C] you  [/] [Csus4]  [C]  [/] [Csus4] [/] [Csus4] [C] 
{eoc}


The [/] [C] wind is in from [/] Africa [/] 
[/] [G] Last night I couldn't [/] sleep
Oh you know it [/] [F] sure is hard to [/] [C] leave here
But it's really not [/] [G] my home [/] [Gsus4][G] [/] 


[/] [C] Maybe it's been too [/] long a time
Since I was [/] [G] scramblin' down in the [/] street
Now they got me [/] [F] used to that clean white [/] [C] linen
And that fancy [/] [G] French cologne [/] [Gsus4][G]


{soc}
Oh [/] [G] Carey get out your [/] [C] cane (Carey get out your...) [/] 
[/] [C] I'll put on my finest [/] [G] silver (I’ll put on some...) [/] 
[/] [F] We'll go to the mermaid [/] [C] Café have [G] fun to- [/]                     
[/] [C] night  [/] [C]
I said [/] [F] oh you're a mean old [/] [C] Daddy but [G] you're out of [/] 
[/] [C] sight [/] [Csus4]  [C]  [/] [Csus4] [/] [C↓]
