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'":
E -----3-h5-3---6---3-h5-3-----------

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.
