Jimmy Buffet Pencil Thin Moustache retabbed by onebravocharlie
[Verse]
D F#7 B7
Now they make new movies in old black and white
E7 A7
With happy endings, where nobody fights
D F#7 B7
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
E7 A7
Honey, jump right up and show your age
[Chorus]
D F#7 B7
I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7 A7 D
The Boston Blackie kind
D F#7 B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
E7 A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
D D7
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
G Bb
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny
D F#7 B7
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7 A7 D
Then I could solve some mysteries too
[Bridge]
Em B7 Em B7
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Em B7 Em
Drinkin' on a fake I.D
F#m C#7 F#m C#7
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana
E7 A7
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
D F#7 B7
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7 A7 D
Then I could solve some mysteries too
Em B7 Em B7
Then it's flat top, dirty bop, coppin' a feel
Em B7 Em B7
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
F#m C#7 F#m C#7
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge
E7 A7
But all you want to do is learn how to score
[Verse]
D F#7 B7
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
E7 A7
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
D F#7 B7
But I can go to movies and see it all there
E7 A7 D
Just the way that it used to be
[Chorus]
D F#7 B7
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin moustache
E7 A7 D
The Boston Blackie kind
D F#7 B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
E7 A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
D D7
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
G Bb
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
D F#7 B7
If I only had a pencil thin moustache
E7 A7 D
Then I could do some cruisin' too
[Coda]
D
Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
E7 A7 D
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
