Twelve Volt Man chords by Jimmy Buffett

Verse 1:

 F9
I never got a grip in penmanship

                 Bb
Could never make those small L's flow

F9
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-ma-tic

             Bbmaj7
Three plus two be faux...pas

Refrain:

  Bbmaj7    C
But ask for some palm trees

  Bbmaj7     C
Or tales from the South Seas

  Bbmaj7    C     F
And I just might turn your head

Verse 2:

 F9
I never had the clout to knock one out

                Bbmaj7
But hitting was the name of my game

F9
Standing on third as the coaches conferred

               Bbmaj7
So close to my first claim to fame

Refrain:

   Bbmaj7   C
Just give me the steal sign

  Bbmaj7    C
And I'll make home plate mine

  Bbmaj7    C     F
And I just might turn some heads

Bridge:

 Bb7             F
Sometimes I may get a little drastic

 Bb7             F
Sometimes I just let my feelings show

 Bb7             F
Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic

G                  C
Most times that's the way the story goes

Verse 3:

 F9
Now I know this Joe down in Mexico

               Bbmaj7
He went there to work on his tan

 F9
For years he's been plugged into blenders and songs

               Bbmaj7
They call him the Twelve-Volt Man

Refrain:

  Bbmaj7    C
He don't need no charge card

   Bbmaj7   C
Just give him a die-hard

  Bbmaj7      C        F
And he'll make sparks fly around your head

Outro:

    Bbmaj7    C
Oh just ask for some palm trees

  Bbmaj7    C
Or tales from the South Seas

  Bbmaj7      C        F
And I'll make sparks fly around your head

C     F
'Round your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head

C    F
In your head
