In the Shelter
By: Jimmy Buffett
1971

Intro:  A (x02220@1)E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)EE
    In the shelter
                                              A (x02220@1)   In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming
F#m (244222@1)   I heard her crying out,  "What is it all about?
      E (022100@1)                  A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)   I just don't know, but I can't go back home"

E (022100@1)   Lonely princess
                                                A (x02220@1)   All the days out on your own are growing empty
F#m (244222@1)   Nothing is going well
                                E (022100@1)   If you could only tell them how you feel
         A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1)   But they're too real to understand

Chorus:
   A (x02220@1)    Too many trite expressions
                                 E (022100@1)    Ending in forced rejections long ago
   A (x02220@1)    To many innocent faces
                                E (022100@1)    In too many far out places somethings wrong
                          B (x2444x@1)    Let me tell you that somethings wrong
                    A (x02220@1)                     E (022100@1)    It's been that way so long, and it's a shame

On the street car
To the city where she knows she may lose it all
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
And knowing well that this could be her final fall

Past the boutique
To the alley down the river, people pass her by
She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks
Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry

Chorus:
   A (x02220@1)    Too many wild rejections
                               E (022100@1)    Endin' in angry questions from her dad
   A (x02220@1)    Too many T.V. dinners
                                      E (022100@1)    Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
     A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)    No one knows the trials she had

(Repeat first verse, then)
E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)             E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)EHell, (022100@1)I just don't know,  but I can't go back home               (fade)
