Alabama - Down On Longboat Key Chords

[Intro]
E A B C#m
 
 
[Verse]
G#m          A              B             C#m
She sits and stares out the window at the water
G#m   A             B
Every night down at Longy's Cafe
G#m  A                 B      C#m
All alone she sips her pina colada
B       A                    B
Talkin' to herself, dreamin' time away
 
 
[Verse]
G#m       A         B           C#m
The story is that a dark haired sailor
G#m       A     B
Stole her heart many years ago
G#m         A         B          C#m
He promised her, he'd come back and take her
  B         A                B
Around the world, bring her hills of gold
 
 
[Chorus]
E    B     F#m      A
Do...wn on Longboat Key
E                B              F#m           A
Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze
E    B     F#m      A
Do...wn on Longboat Key
      F#m       A        B
She spends her life in a dream on Longboat Key
E    B     F#m      A

[Verse]
G#m       A           B             C#m
Each afternoon as the shrimp boats come in
G#m         A              B
She runs to meet them down at the pier
G#m          A              B            C#m
She sees the fishermen, the nets and the sunset
B       A                  B
But she don't see him, her eyes fill with tears
 
 
[Verse]
G#m              A              B            C#m
She stands there lookin' at the crystal blue water
G#m        A            B
And in the coral she imagines pearls
G#m       A                        B                  C#m
She makes believe, he brought them all the way from China
B        A                            B
Then the water swirls, the blue-green water swirls

[Bridge]
C#m                          G#m
Young sailors make a play to take her home
          F#m              E
She says, No, I'm already taken
C#m                          G#m
Oh, they just laugh when she mentions his name
F#m      E          A
She just keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
