Jimmy Buffett - Bob Robert’s Society Band Chords

[Opening]
Well you [D]heard about the [B7]alligators [Em]sleepin’ in the [A]shade
You [D]heard about the [B7]sugar barons [Em]messin’ up the [A]‘glades
It’s a [D]melting pot exis[D7]tence that is [G]hard to contem[Gm]plate
And a [A]never ending [A7]battle in the [D7]Sunshine State

[verse 2]
But [D]far far [B7]away from the [Em]front page [A]news
[D]Far far [B7]away from the [Em]headline [A]blues
Down a [D]secondary [D7]road that [G]severely shows its [Gm]age
The [A]forties comes to [A7]life on a [D7]makeshift stage

[chorus]
It’s the [D]Bob [B7]Roberts [Em]Society [A]Band
[D]Playin’ every [B7]Sunday at the [Em]orange grove [A]stand
They [D]don’t play [D7]grunge and they [G]don’t play [Gm]loud
It’s the [A]magic of the [A7]music that [D7]still draws a crowd

[verse 3]
Well the [D]word goes [B7]out from [Em]Melbourne to the [A]Keys
The [D]faithful get the [B7]message like it’s [Em]written on the [A]breeze
[D]Young folks [D7]old folks [G]vow to cut a [Gm]rug
[A]Fox trot, [A7]bunny hop, [D7]do the jitterbug

[verse 4]
I saw [D]mini vans from [B7]Boca, [Em]buses from Perr[A]ine
There were [D]people speakin’ [B7]Hindu in the [Em]barbecue [A]line
A [D]couple on their [D7]honeymoon [G]looked a bit con[Gm]fused
But the [A]boys in the [A7]band put ’em [D7]right in the mood

[verse 5]
A [D]lady dressed in [B7]purple started [Em]dancin’ all a[A]lone
Then she [D]sauntered oh so [B7]gently to the [Em]vacant micro[A]phone
She [D]sounded like she’s [D7]someone and [G]never missed a [Gm]beat
By the [A]time the number [A7]ended they were [D7]dancin’ in the street

[verse 6]
They [D]died and gone to [B7]heaven that [Em]lively little [A]crowd
[D]Trombones and [B7]saxophones [Em]sent ’em thru the [A]clouds
They [D]coulda gone all [D7]night but the [G]party had to [Gm]stop
When they [A]blew the circuit [A7]breaker in the [D7]souvenir shop

[chorus]
It’s the [D]Bob [B7]Roberts [Em]Society [A]Band
[D]Playin’ every [B7]Sunday at the [Em]orange grove [A]stand
They [D]don’t play [D7]grunge and they [G]don’t play [Gm]loud
It’s the [A]magic of the [A7]music that [D7]still draws a [D]crowd

[Closing]
[D]Oh Yeah!
