The Whole 9 yards

(Eric Stone/Kenny Royster)

INTRO: E, A, B, E TWICE

E A B E

The slam of the gavel set me free and she got all she ever needed

E A B E

All I asked the Judge to give to me was tied up down at the Marina

C#m/B A E

27 ft. white sails and polished fiberglass

C#m B A B

I christened her "Island Time" and set sail for paradise

CHORUS:

A B E A B E

She got the house on the Lake with her own live in maid

A C#m/B/C#m A B

The swimming pool and the new Corvette the savings account and alimony checks

A B E A B E

But I got the Ocean near St. Barts the tradewinds and the stars

A C#m/B/C#m A B A B E

When I raise my sails on "Island Time" twenty seven feet of waterline I got the whole 9 yards

E A B E

It's 7 A.M. I bet she's in her car bumper to bumper in traffic

E A B E

I just woke up and went up on deck and fell back asleep in my hammock

C#m B A E

She's got all the toys and all the noise crammed into a city crowd

C#m B A B

While Im down here on "Island Time" all stretched out on the bow

REPEAT CHORUS
