GRAPEFRUIT JUICY FRUIT
By Jimmy Buffet
Tabbed by Eric Pohl (eric@is.net)

Here's my take on the Jimmy Buffet song "Grapefruit Juicy Fruit." It
seems
like a good exercise for beginning fingerstylers (like me). Suggestions
and
corrections are always appreciated.

The intro and the verses are mostly fingerstyle with some rhythmic
strumming
tossed in:

CHORUS

Dm G Cmaj7
And oh it gets so damn lonely

Dm G Cmaj7
when you're on a plane alone

Dm G Cmaj7
And if I had the money honey I'd strap you in beside me

D7 G (tacet)
And never ever leave you leave you at home all alone and cryin'


Here's the lick on "all alone and cryin'":

Verses (sing with the tabbed stuff)

Grapefruit
A bathin' suit
Chew a little juicy fruit
Wash away the night
Drive-in
You guzzle gin
Commit a little mortal sin
It's good for the soul

(chorus)

Ten speed
No need
My pickup gets me where I please
Chuggin' down the street
But I'll be leavin'
In a little while
So close your eyes and I'll
I'll be back real soon

(chorus)

Thanks to Mike Hall, from whom I copped the lyrics.
