1979
[Intro]
E under main riff
[Verse]
A B E
She came down from Cincinnati
A B E
It took her three days on the train
A B E
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
A B E
Hoped to see the sun again
A B E
But now she lives down by the ocean
A B E
She's takin' care to look for sharks
A B E
They hang out in the local bars
A B E
And they feed right after dark
[Chorus]
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
A B A B
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
A B E
And you're the only bait in town
G#7m C#7m
Oh oh
G#7m C#7m
Oh oh
A B A B
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
A B E
And you're the only girl in town
[Break]
E under main riff
[Verse]
A B E
She's saving up all of her money
A B E
Wants to head it south in may
A B E
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
A B E
Somewhere down Montserrat way
A B E
But the money's good in the season
A B E
Helps to lighten up her load
A B E
Boys keep her high as the months go by
A B E
She's getting postcards from the road
[Chorus]
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
A B A B
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
A B E
And you're the only bait in town
[Solo]
Repeat A B E progression x 3
E chord x3
[Verse]
A B E
Sailed off to antigua
A B E
It took her three days on a boat
A B E
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
A B E
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
A B E
But now she feels like a remora
A B E
'cause the school's still close at hand
A B E
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
A B E
Of the sharks that can swim on the land
[Chorus]
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
G#7m C#7m
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
A B A B
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
A B E
And you're the only bait in town
A B A B
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
A B E
And you're the only girl in town
[Outro]
E under main riff
