Here it is. Got a lot more of these if anyone's interested. Be specific
though, don't just say, "hey send some more Buffett...". Me and some
other folks are currently working on a "Great Chords Compliation" of every
Buffett song ever released. The lyrics are already completed. You can
access via anonymous ftp to: ventura.cs.bsu.edu /pub/buffett/lyrics
Email me if you have any questions.
Later,

Pencil Thin Mustache
====================
By Jimmy Buffett
D F#7 B7
Now they make new movies in old black and white
E7 A7
With happy endings, where nobody fights
D F#7 B7
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
E7 A7
Honey, jump right up and show your age
Chorus:
D F#7 B7
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
E7 A7 D
The "Boston Blackie" kind
D F#7 B7
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
E7 A7
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
D D7
Oh I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
G Bb
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny
D F#7 B7
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
E7 A7 D
Then I could solve some mysteries too
Em B7 Em B7
Oh it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Em B7 Em
Drinkin' on a fake I.D.
F#m C7 F#m C7
And Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana
E7 A7
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
D F#7 B7
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
E7 A7 D
then I could solve some mysteries too
(same as above chords with this verse)
But then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge,
But all you want to do is learn how to score
D F#7 B7
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
E7 A7
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
D F#7 B7
But I can go to movies and see it all there
E7 A7 D
Just the way that it used to be
Chorus:
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind, a two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or a Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too
D
Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
E7 A7 D
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
