Intro: C Am F G (x4)

  C            Am
  I remember Florida
  F                    G
  The land of endless malls
  C         Am
  Images of Elvis flicks
      F              G
  Convertibles and blondes
  C                Am
  And I remember crying
          F                     G
  As you walked away along the shore
 F                   G                 C           G
  The last words I heard you say were what a bore

  And I remember drinking
  In those air-conditioned bars
  Putting all my quarters in a jukebox
  With big silver stars
  And I remember Nat King Cole
  Singing a song about the rain
 F        G             C    C/B  Am
  Oh I'm feeling blue again
 F        G             C    C7
  Oh I'm feeling blue again

              F    G        C    C/B   Am
  And it was just like a vacation
              F    G           C  C/B  Am
  Yea I'm sure we had us some fun
              F    G        C    C/B   Am
  Yea it was just like a vacation
          F            G              C  G
  And I swear we even sat out in the sun

INSTRUMENTAL (1ST VERSE CHORDS)

  You see my mother owned a trailer home
  On West Broward past A1A
  And to beat the North wind
  We took a spin
  To that tin can by the sea
  Well I thought she was mine
  But she was just passing time
  She even passed out of town in my car
  And left me with Nat King Cole
  And the silver stars
  Nat King Cole and the silver stars

  And it was just like a vacation
  Yea I'm sure we had us some fun
  Yea it was just like a vacation
          F            G
  And I swear we even sat out
          F             G
  Yeah I swear we even sat out
          F             G              C  Am
  Yeah I swear we even sat out in the sun
          C  Am          C   Am
  In the sun,    in the sun
          C
  In the sun
