Man-ana

	  		D     
She said I can't go back to America soon 

It's so goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June 
              G                       Em 
Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo, stuck in their cars 
     A                        G           D 
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars 
 D  
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave 
She's got a plan hidden up her shirt sleeve 
           G                 Em 
Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind 
    A                G           D     (D7) 
And any direction he blows'll be fine. 


     G                                     D 
     Please don't say man~ana if you don't mean it 
       A                                  D    D7   
     I have heard those words for so very long 
     G                                                   D 
     Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it 
          A                     G                     D 
     Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong
 

D 
Tried and I tried but I don't understand 
Never seems to work out the way I had it planned 
         G                   Em        
Hangin' out in a marina when Steve Martin called 
         A                   G      D             
Singin' anybody there really wanna' get small 
D 
But women and water are in short supply 
There's not enough dope for us all to get high 
         G             Em        
I hear it gets better, that's what they say 
 A                      G           D     (D7) 
As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay 


     G                                     D 
     Please don't say man~ana if you don't mean it 
       A                                  D    D7   
     I have heard those words for so very long 
     G                                                   D 
     Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it 
          A                     G                     D 
     Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song

SOLO:  D          G    A   G D 

  
D 
Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates 
Sure was good to talk to the old United States 
              G                       Em 
While the lights of St. Thomas lie twenty miles west 

     A                        G           D 
I see General Electric's still doing their best 
   D 
I've got to head this boat south pretty soon 
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes 
           G                 Em 
But I know that I'll get 'em I know that they'll come 
    A                G           D               (D7) 
Through the people and places and Callwoods Rum 


     G                                     D 
     So please don't say man~ana if you don't mean it 
       A                                  D    D7        
     I have done your lines for so very long 
         G                                                   D  
     Don't try to describe a Kiss concert if you've never seen it 
               A                     G                     D 
     Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged!  (gong) 
           A                       G                  D     
     And I hope Anita Bryant never ever does one of my songs
