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
