- In the Shelter
- By: Jimmy Buffett
- 1971
-
- Intro: A E A E
- E
- In the shelter
- A
- In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming
- F#m
- I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
- E A E
- I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
-
- E
- Lonely princess
- A
- All the days out on your own are growing empty
- F#m
- Nothing is going well
- E
- If you could only tell them how you feel
- A E
- But they're too real to understand
-
- Chorus:
- A
- Too many trite expressions
- E
- Ending in forced rejections long ago
- A
- To many innocent faces
- E
- In too many far out places somethings wrong
- B
- Let me tell you that somethings wrong
- A E
- 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
- Too many wild rejections
- E
- Endin' in angry questions from her dad
- A
- Too many T.V. dinners
- E
- Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
- A E
- No one knows the trials she had
-
- (Repeat first verse, then)
- E A E A E A E
- Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home (fade)
