Blue Guitar

by Jimmy Buffett

Lyrics
Hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na, hê-na, oh-oh
Hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na
Oh-oh
Hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na, hê-na, na-na

I once knew a man
Showed me the sleight of hand
In the blink of an eye he danced across the strings
He played a song I'd never heard
Poignant and absurd
To this day, it leaves me wondering

How I wish tommorrow I were fishin'
Boy, I got a mission
To shake it rattle and roll
Oh, now just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock upon the wall

You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me

Was he real or make-believe
Or someone to deceive
That time is just a folly we can't see
You only know one song
Play it right or wrong
'Cause the truth is always somewhere in between

You and I, we can't change the weather
And we're all in this together
So let the stong wind blow
Oh, now things will be much better
If you don't become a prisoner
To the reason you should know

You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
A lover's masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me

Let's play it boys

How I wish tommorrow I were fishin'
Boy, I got a mission
To shake it rattle and roll
Oh, now, just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock upon the wall

You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
Play me a serenade
Red wine and lemonade
Play on your blue guitar for me

You are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me (oh, oh)
Play me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
