Twelve Volt Man by Jimmy Buffett
Twelve Volt Man
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
F9
I never got a grip in penmanship
Bb
Could never make those small L's flow
F9
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-ma-tic
Bbmaj7
Three plus two be faux...pas
[Refrain]
Bbmaj7 C
But ask for some palm trees
Bbmaj7 C
Or tales from the South Seas
Bbmaj7 C F
And I just might turn your head
[Verse 2]
F9
I never had the clout to knock one out
Bbmaj7
But hitting was the name of my game
F9
Standing on third as the coaches conferred
Bbmaj7
So close to my first claim to fame
[Refrain]
Bbmaj7 C
Just give me the steal sign
Bbmaj7 C
And I'll make home plate mine
Bbmaj7 C F
And I just might turn some heads
[Bridge]
Bb7 F
Sometimes I may get a little drastic
Bb7 F
Sometimes I just let my feelings show
Bb7 F
Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic
G C
Most times that's the way the story goes
[Verse 3]
F9
Now I know this Joe down in Mexico
Bbmaj7
He went there to work on his tan
F9
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs
Bbmaj7
They call him the Twelve-Volt Man
[Refrain]
Bbmaj7 C
He don't need no charge card
Bbmaj7 C
Just give him a die-hard
Bbmaj7 C F
And he'll make sparks fly around your head
[Outro]
Bbmaj7 C
Oh just ask for some palm trees
Bbmaj7 C
Or tales from the South Seas
Bbmaj7 C F
And I'll make sparks fly around your head
C F
'Round your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
C F
In your head
