Changes in Latitudes  Changes in Attitudes
====================  ====================
By Jimmy Buffett

Intro:  G   D   A  G D

D                 G
I took off for a weekend last month
        A                        D
Just to try and recall the whole year
                     G
All of the faces and all of the places
 A                           D
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
Bm                  F#m
I didn't ponder the question too long
      G                         A
I was hungry and went out for a bite
    G                  D
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
       A                    D
and we wound up drinkin' all night


                G                     D
     It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
      A                        D
     Nothing remains quite the same
         G                      D
     With all of our running and all of our cunning
        A                         G         D
     if we couldn't laugh we would all go insane


Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall

(2nd Chorus:)
     These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
     Nothing remains quite the same
     Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
     If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong

(Last Chorus:)
     With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
     Nothing remains quite the same
     With all of my running and all of my cunning
     If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
     If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
        A                       F     C    G    D   A   D
     If we weren't all crazy we would go insane
