Gulf Coast Girl

INTRO:
"Hey everybody, it's another beautiful day on the Gulf.
Here's the new one from Caroline Jones."

D      G            A  A
 Uh oh, uh oh oh oh oh
D      G            A  A
 Uh oh, uh oh oh oh oh


VERSE:
   A                                     D
I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola, and Tampa, St. Pete
                                  A
My particular bare feet like to splash in the waves
                   E7      A
Maybe misbehave, occasionally

           G
I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line
             D
Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores
   A
A very special chart, is locked in my heart,
     E                   A
Of places that I love to be


CHORUS:
N.C.         D          G
Cause I’m a gulf coast girl
                 A                      Bm    A
Partial to the  the warm winds and the salty water!
 D          G
Gulf coast girl
               A                G
Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me

             D         G
And in the whole wide world
           A                           Bm            A
No other place where the days and the nights'll run hotter
 D          G
Gulf coast girl
          A                   D
Right at home on my American sea

 Uh oh, uh oh oh oh oh    Uh
        D      G            A  A
I said,  Uh oh, uh oh oh oh oh


VERSE:
 A
Have a world of fun, on a Pascagoula run
         D
And you might get lucky on a beach in Biloxi
     A                                           E7      A
Get tanner, get thinner and go home a winner, occasionally

        G
We can surf Boca Chica and Galveston Bay
      D
Ride horses on the beach in South Padre
A
No we’re not in Kansas. Ola! Port Aransas
        E                  A
Do you wanna two-step with me? huh
