Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) By: jimmy buffett
(D major) 1971
Hardly seems a long (A major) time
Just a (G major) minute of the day (D major)
But the (F sharp minor) man who stood beside (G major) me
More than (E major) gave himself away (A major)
The (D major) food stain on his spot (A major) ted shirt
A (G major) gray beard (A major) on his face (D major)
A man composed of (G major) many names
So (A major) I just called him ace (D major)
Verse 2
Chorus: But (G major)
ace can't read and ace (D major) can't write
And (A major) he sleeps on a bench (D major) at night
(G major) A little man the (A major) world has left behind
(D major) (G major) He ain't bitter, (D major) he ain't sweet
(A major) Makes his living on (D major) the street
(G major) Never knowing (A major) what he's
gonna find (D major) (G major) (D major)
