Artist: Jimmy Buffett Song Title: Delaney Talks to statues Album Title: Fruitcakes Verse 1 A E B E Delaney talks to statues A B E As she dances 'round the pool A E B E She chases cats through roman ruins A B E And stomps on big toadstools A E B E She speaks a language all her own A E B E That I cannot discover A E B E But she knows I love her so A E B E When I tuck her 'neath the covers CHORUS A E B E Father, daughter A E B E Down by the water A E B E Shells sink, dreams float A E B E Life's good on our boat Verse 2 (same as 1) Delaney draws me pictures She finger paints the sand We chase the dogs and hop like frogs Then I do my bad handstand She's growing up too fast for me And asking lots of questions Some I know the answers to And some I'm looking for suggestions CHORUS 2 (same as 1) Father, daughter Born by the water Surf's up, sun's down Life in a beach town BRIDGE C#m G#m And some of the things I've seen Bm A Maybe she won't have to see C#m G#m But there's a lot I want to pass along D A That was handed down to me Verse 3 (same) Delaney talks to statues As she dances 'round the pool She chases cats through Roman ruins And stomps on big toadstools She speaks a language all her own Just a little like her mother And she knows I love her so When I tuck her 'neath the covers Chorus 3 (same) Father, daughter Down by the water Shells sink, dreams float Life's good on our boat CHORDS C#m G#m Bm -4- -4- -2- -5- -4- -3- -6- -4- -4- -6- -x- -4- -4- -x- -2- -4- -x- -2- "all we really need is 6 string music" - the man himself Chris Bailey Batigoal14@soccer.com
