CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
I'd like to be in Biscuit City
F F#m7-5
With my banjo in my hand
C/G Am7
I don't need no long vacation
Em7 G
In some foreign land
Am F
'Cause the sound of my own breathing
C/E Am
Has been turning to a sigh
F C
I wish that I could make the time
G F C
To be in Biscuit City by and by
[VERSE 2:]
Oh, the water is of emerald
F F#m7-5
And the beach is white as snow
C/G Am7
And everyone's got money
Em7 G
And no place to go
Am F
In a land of milk and honey
C/E Am
It can really make you smile
F C
And if I had a ticket
G F C
I would stay in Biscuit City for awhile
[VERSE 3:]
All the girls are in bikinis
F F#m7-5
All the boys are in the buff
C/G Am7
With the baby in between
Em7 G
And that makes three of us
Am F
And the streets are all so quiet
C/E Am
And the walls are squeaky clean
F C
I think you ain't been nowhere
G F C
'Til the town of Biscuit City you have seen
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F F#m7-5 C/G Am7 Em7 G
Am F C/E Am F C G F C
[VERSE 4:]
I'd rather be in Biscuit City
F F#m7-5
With my banjo in my hand
C/G Am7
Than take a big vacation
Em7 G
In some foreign land
Am F
'Cause the sound of my own breathing
C/E Am
Has been turning to a sigh
F C
If it were not for misfortune
G F C
I would be in Biscuit City by and by
F C
If it were not for misfortune
G F C
I would stay in Biscuit City 'til I die
