The following are what I believe to be the chords for Jimmy Bufett's "Distantly in Love." : 000232 : 000230 : 000233 : 002220 : 002200 : 320033 : 221000 Intro: Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by, Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby Beside the southern ocean, taking thought of what's to be Writing you this letter that you'll prob'ly never see But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistancies, now you need this distantly in love. Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged Me and you would roundez-vous, but I found your number changed So I drove to San Ramos where the crazy painter dwells Toasted our old photographs still up there on the shelves But I can't help but be ruled by my intiguities, now you need this distantly in love Instrumental | :| I can't be the one to fill your times and all your places I can't be the one to fill your blanks and empty spaces I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay You had a new lover who had stolen you away That could be the reason that I never got in touch He presents like problems if he loves you half as much 'Cause I who can't help but be ruled by my intiguities now you need this distantly in love You know I can't help but be part of my own philosophies, now you need this distantly in love I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy! Bill Schofield (and Caroline)
