Treat Her Like a Lady
>From the Jimmy Buffett album _Volcano_
By: Jimmy Buffett, David Loggins
1979
Chorus:
C
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
F Dm7
Some of us sailors call her our own
G G7
Guess that's the reason why
C Am
I treat her like a lady
F Dm7
Just treat her like a la -- dy
C
Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round
F
Or winds spinnin' out of control
G G7
California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me
C
Shake, rattle, and roll
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jimmy-buffett/123379.html ]
I've been too long on the mainland
Hotels, rental cars, and phones
Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide
And go back, where I belong
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoons
There're times I find myself with them
And times I feel as they do
We're on a similar course, it's just a different source
But I'm in danger of extinction too
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
And miss her when I'm gone
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
