Brand New Country Star
By: Jimmy Buffett
1974

Intro:  G D G

     C                                                G
Well he outgrew his sequined suit, sold his Trailways bus
A
Let his hair get a little too long
    D          G       D
His ducktail's bit the dust
    C                                                 G
His custom made, pearl-inlaid guitar slipped from his hand
A                                            D        G      D   
And in its place a new electrical one he had flown in from Japan

Chorus:
                   C
     'Cause he's a cheeseburger eatin', abandoned Sunday meetin'
                       G
     Brand new country star
     A
     He rides around in a Lincoln Continental
           D           G      D
     Those steer horns on his car
             C
     Oh, the record men say he's livin' end 
                                         G
     They're gonna spin him right to the top
                A
     Yeah he's a hot roman candle from the Texas panhandle
            C         D          G
     He can either go country or pop


Got a good old friend name of Texas Ben,
Tells him all the spots to play
And a sweet little lady, he calls her Sexy Sadie
She's with the boy night and day

They're gonna open up a chain of fancy bowlin' lanes
The first one in his old hometown
And on ribbon-cuttin' day they'll come from miles away
The folks'll all gather 'round and sing

(Repeat chorus)

Enjoy!
