THE MANATEE AND THE JELLYFISH

(Eric Stone)

Capo 2^nd fret

Intro: D A G A D A Bm G A D

D A G A G A D

Sitting on my friend’s sailboat, watching a jellyfish float the wind controls his life and where he goes

D A G A G A
That makes me start to think, my friend's just like that invertebrate cause' he chases wind no matter where it

D A G A G A D

blows, Then I see a manatee, who’s life is ruled by destiny and the danger that he faces from a prop

D A G A G D D/D7
And then it occurs to me, my life's just like that manatees I wanna get there but there's danger at the top

CHORUS:

G A D Bm G A D/D7
When God made us, he threw away the mold no two will ever be the same

G A D walk to Bm G A D A Bm G D

Boy, you ain’t right, I am often told well if that’s true then you're the one to blame

D A G A G A D

Sipping on an ice cold beer, at the edge of the fishing pier staring at the white caps on the sea

D A G A G A
The wind makes you feel content and for you it pays the rent but all it does is mess fishing up for me

D A G A G A D

And then I realize, life is one big compromise maybe I can drag a line behind the boat

D A G A G D D/D7
If the manatee and the jellyfish, can both somehow co-exist then you can sail and I will try to troll

CHORUS:

G A D Bm G A D/D7
When God made us, he threw away the mold no two will ever be the same

G A D walk to Bm G A D A Bm G D

Boy, you ain’t right, I am often told well if that’s true then you're the one to blame

BRIDGE:

Em A
Now the manatee, is looking back at me

Em A/A7/Asus
And the jellyfish is staring you down, Maybe we're kin?

REPEAT CHORUS

G A D/D7 G A D
