Pencil Thin Moustache Ukulele chords by Jimmy Buffett

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)


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
