Zanzibar Lyrics

Intro: G+ B7 E7
(Augmented run up: G B D# G B D# G
Ali dances and the audience applauds
Though he's bathed in sweat he hasn't lost his style
Ali don't you go downtown
You gave away another round for free Whoa...
Me, I'm just another face at Zanzibar
But the waitress always serves a secret smile Whoa...
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
C G+/C (or Cmaj/min7) Cm7
I've got the old man's car,
I've got a jazz guitar
I've got a tab at Zan -- zi -- bar
(Cos) To -- night that's where I'll be I'll be
Rose, he knows he's such a credit to the game,
But the Yankees grab the headlines every time
Melodrama's so much fun
In black and white for everyone to see whoa
Me, I'm trying just to get to second base
And I'd steal it if she only gave the sign whoa
She's gonna give the go ahead
The inning isn't over yet for me, for me
Tell the waitress I'll come back to Zanzibar
I'll be hiding in the darkness with my beer.
She's waiting out in Shantytown
She's gonna pull the curtains down for me, for me
