Quietly Making Noise by Jimmy Buffett
Quietly Making Noise
Capo:no capo
Dm A/C# F/C G/B
Oscar Wilde died in bed, several floors a- bove my head
Dm A/C# F/C G/B
Living well be- yond his means in that crazy Paris scene
Dm A/C# F/C G/B
Rain falls down in sheets so clear, and no one ever calls me here
Dm A/C# F/C G/B
Traveling by my- self these days, I'm into jazz and felt berets
A Dm
Far from the that old eastern shore
A D
Searching for strange meta- phors
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
I don't want to be another victim of fashion
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
No, I don't want to see my name in the paper each day
D D/F# G A D
Hey, you can leave that to the young Turks, they're more handsome and dashing
D/F# G A
D D/F# G A
Posing for papa- razzi's down La- guna way
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Now down in the metro, I feel the world start to multiply
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Bastille, rubber wheels, spiked heels, subter- ranean lullaby
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Met an African prancer, a hemisphere dancer, spied the ghost of Brassens
D D/F# G A D
We smiled at the secret we shared, and I hid it like contraband ---
G D
Quietly making noise, (Quietly making noise) starts with kindergarten toys
G D
Not too soft not too loud, just enough to draw a crowd
A D
Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Followed the beat, hey, I found my- self in this patois spot
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Outside a blizzard was blowing but inside the joint was hot
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Zouk songs, rubber thongs, sing-a-longs, the words flew right by my face
D D/F# G A D
You know rhythm and motions, a blamma jamma potion you can- not erase ---
G D
Quietly making noise, (Quietlt making noise) pissin' off the old killjoys
G D
Glass packs on a hot Mustang, a Telecaster with a twang
A D
Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise, yes
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Singers and writers and poets, have flocked here for centu- ries
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
The city of light is built upon mountains of memo- ries
D D/F# G A D D/F# G A
Baritone saxophone, monotones, speak of the voice I've heard be- fore
D D/F# G A D
It's a lasting im- pression, a Gypsy ex- pression you cannot ignore ---
G D
We're quietly making noise, (quietly making noise) starts with kindergarten toys
G D
Not too soft, not too loud, just enough to draw a crowd
A D
Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise
G D
Yeah, we're quietly making noise, (Quietly) making noise, pissin' off the old
kill-joys
G D
Not too soft, not too loud, just enough to draw a crowd
A
We're quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly
D
Quietly, quietly, quietly making noise, that's right, oh yeah
G A D
A whole lot of beautiful noise
Spoken
G A D
Oh, come on children, play those, play those kindergarten toys
G A D G A D
Everybody's a drummer tonight, all right, let it ring now, let it ring -----
