***CAPO 1ST***
CHORDS USED: C G F

CThe wind is in from Africa
GLast night I couldn't sleep
                F               COh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
         GBut it's really not my home
C                          GMy fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
      F                   C            GAnd I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne

G                     COh Carey get out your cane
C                    GAnd I'll put on some silver
F                    G                 COh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you 

C                                           GCome on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
          F                  C                     GAnd we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
             CLet's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
  GA round for these friends of mine
                   F                        CLet's have another round for the bright red devil
              GWho keeps me in this tourist town

                             CCome on, Carey, get out your cane
C                GI'll put on some silver
F                    G                 COh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you

CMaybe I'll go to Amsterdam
    GOr maybe I'll go to Rome
      F              C                   GAnd rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room
      C                 But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now
     GThe night is a starry dome.
              F                    CAnd they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
             GBeneath the Matalla Moon

G                            CCome on, Carey, get out your cane
C                    GAnd I'll put on some silver
F                   G               CYou're a mean old Daddy, but I like you

CThe wind is in from Africa
      GLast night I couldn't sleep
                 F                  COh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
            G     But, it's really not my home
C  Maybe it's been too long a time
             GSince I was scramblin' down in the street
                 F                       CNow they got me used to that clean white linen
           GAnd that fancy French cologne

G                      COh Carey, get out your cane
C                    GI'll put on my finest silver
      F                   G  We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe
            C Have fun tonight
        F                      G                        CI said, Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight
