Caroline Jones - Gulf Coast Girl: chords

   A                                     D
I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola, and Tampa,
St. Pete
                                  A
My particular bare feet like to splash in the waves
                   E7      A
Maybe misbehave, occasionally
           G
I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line
             D
Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores
   A
A very special chart, is locked in my heart,
     E                   A
Of places that I love to be

Chorus:
             D          G
Cause I’m a gulf coast girl
                 A                      Bm    A
Partial to the  the warm winds and the salty water!
 D          G
Gulf coast girl
               A                G
Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me
             D         G
And in the whole wide world
           A                           Bm
No other place where the days and the nights'll
     A
run hotter
 D          G
Gulf coast girl
          A                   D
Right at home on my American sea

Have a world of fun, on a Pascagoula run
And you might get lucky on a beach in Biloxi
Get tanner, get thinner and go home a winner,
occasionally
We can surf Boca Chica and Galveston Bay
Ride horses on the beach in South Padre
No we’re not in Kansas. Hola Port Aransas!
Do you wanna two-step with me?

Chorus

         Bm
She’s a Louisiana little ‘bove the mighty Mississip
 G                     F#7
Right down from New Orleans!
          Bm
Give me a po boy to go, I never was a show
    G             A
And I know, just what that means

Chorus:
And I’m a Gulf Coast girl
I’m Gulf Coast girl
I gotta little mermaid in me

And in the whole wide world
No other place where the days
and the nights run hotter
Gulf Coast girl
Yeah, I’m right at home on my American sea
I’m right at home on my American sea
I gotta little mermaid in me
