E                A 
I went down to Captain Tony's 
    E              A 
To get out of the heat 
    E                A 
I heard a voice call out to me 
  E               A 
"Son come have a seat" 
 
  C#m              F#m 
I had to search my memory  
     C#m               A 
As I looked into those eyes 
    C#m                         F#m 
Our lives have changed like the weather 
       B 
But a legend never dies 
 

                E             A 
     I ate the last mango in Paris 
               B                   E 
     Took the last plane out of Saigon 
                C#m                F#m 
     I took the first fast boat to China 
          A            B                   E 
     And Jimmy there's still so much to be done  
 
 
I had a third world girl in Buzios 
With a pistol in each hand 
She always kept me covered  
As we roamed from land to land 
 
I had a damn good run on Wall Street  
With my high fashion model wife 
'till I woke up dry beneath the African sky 
Just me and my Swiss Army knife 
 
Chorus: 
 
We shot the breeze for hours  
As the sun fell from the sky  
And like the sun he disappeared  
Before my very eyes  
 
It was somewhere past dark-thirty  
And I went back to the head  
I read upon the dingy wall  
The words the old man said 
 
Chorus: 2x
