Song: Tin Cup Chalice Tab
Tin Cup Chalice - By: Jimmy Buffett - from A1A, 1974
Intro: G C G G C G
G C G
I want to go back to the island,
C D G
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'
Em
Give me oysters and beer
A7 D
For dinner every day of the year and I'll feel fine
D7
I'll feel fine
Chorus:
C D G
'Cause I want to be there
D
C |1. lie beside | Em
I want to go back down and |2. get high by | the sea there
|3. die beside |
C G B7 Em
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
A7 D G C G
and I'm a' chewin', on a honey-suckle vine
Yeah, now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water
Sailboats, they go searchin' for the breeze
Salt air it ain't thin, I can stick right to you skin
And make you feel fine
It makes you feel fine
(repeat chorus)
Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal
Get that pack gear up and let's move
I want to be there 'fore the day, tries to steal away
And leave us behind
I've made up my mind
(repeat chorus and fade)
ending --> With a tin cup for a chalice,
Fill it up with good red wine
