Hall (mhall@moe.coe.uga.edu) In the Shelter By: Jimmy Buffett 1971 Intro: A E A E E In the shelter A In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming F#m I heard her crying out, "What is it all about? E A E I just don't know, but I can't go back home" E Lonely princess A All the days out on your own are growing empty F#m Nothing is going well E If you could only tell them how you feel A E But they're too real to understand Chorus: A Too many trite expressions E Ending in forced rejections long ago A To many innocent faces E In too many far out places somethings wrong B Let me tell you that somethings wrong A E It's been that way so long, and it's a shame On the street car To the city where she knows she may lose it all Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time And knowing well that this could be her final fall Past the boutique To the alley down the river, people pass her by She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry Chorus: A Too many wild rejections E Endin' in angry questions from her dad A Too many T.V. dinners E Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost A E No one knows the trials she had (Repeat first verse, then) E A E A E A E Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home (fade)
