D       C        G

G
As the son of a son of a lawyer
C
I never get home before nine
G
The folks at work all think I’m a jerk
D
I never see my kids and they don’t seem to mind

C                      D                               Em
Yes, I’m stressed, and aggression’s got the better of me
C
My second ex-wife says I oughta get a life
D
And the third and fourth agree

C                                           G
But tonight Jimmy Buffet is comin’ to town
C
Pack up the Beemer: salt, lime, and tequiler
D
And mingle with the soccer moms and 9-to-5 clowns
C                   D
Got no use for these suburbanite losers
Em                        C
I’m above them in every way
C                           D
But tonight, I’m a Parrothead
D            G
And they’re okay

D       C        G

G
I’m allergic to shellfish and mangos
C
I don’t enjoy the beach or the sun
G
Hard for a man to get a tropical tan
D
Wearing SPF one-hundred-and-one

C                       D                        Em
I guess Key West is impressive, but I’ve never been
C
Can’t even have Old Bay® or a Filet-O-Fish®
D
Without needing a Dramamine®

C                                                G
But tonight I’m in the crowd and I’m singin’ along
C
Year after year, you’ll find me here
D
Gettin’ the words to “Margaritaville” wrong
C                           D
Most of the time I’d rather kiss a mime
D        Em                    C
Than to hang out with your kind
C                        D
But tonight, I’m a Parrothead
            G
And I don’t mind

Am
I know I ain’t no sailor
C
My khaki shorts are custom tailored
G                                   A
And my Hawaiian shirt’s from Calvin Klein®
A
And I don’t own his albums
C                       D
I only came here to get loaded
NC
And hit on your wife

C                                                G
But tonight, the Coral Reefers are gonna be playin’
C
I’ll be the drunken ass throwing up on the grass
D
And shoutin’ out my tenth request for “Fire and Rain”
C                             D
Most of the year I’m ’bout as full of cheer
Em               C
As a constipated bear
C                        D
But tonight, I’m a Parrothead
C                          D
I know you wish that I was dead
C                          D
But for tonight, I’m a Parrothead
G
And I don’t care
