[Verse 1]

D
The wind is in from Africa
A
Last night I couldn't sleep
                  G                           D
Oh, you know it sure is hard to live here, Carey
            A
but it's really not my home

D
My finger nails are filthy
A
I've got beach tar on my feet
           G                           D
and I miss my clean white linen
              A
and my, fancy French cologne

[Chorus]

A                                 D
Oh Carey get out your cane
                          A
I'll put on some silver
G                                   D
Oh, you're a mean old daddy
    A            D
but I like you

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
D
Come on down to the Mermaid Café
A
and I will buy you a bottle of wine
              G                               D
and we'll laugh and toast to nothing
               A
and, smash our empty glasses down

D
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A
A round for these friends of mine
             G                              D
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
               A
who keeps me in this tourist town

[Chorus]
(same chords)
A                                 D
Oh Carey get out your cane
                           A
I'll put on some silver
G                                 D
Oh, you're a mean old daddy
     A          D
but I like you, I like you, I like you

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

D
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
A
or maybe I'll go to Rome
               G                              D
and rent me a grand piano and
                A
put some flowers round my room

D
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
A
The night is a starry dome
              G                               D
and they're playing that scratchy rock and roll
              A
beneath the Matala moon
