E A B E

[Chorus]
E
That first flight to Phoenix
          A
Where the land is scenic
     E                            B
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
     E
Look at these yankees suffering
A
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
E         B                   E
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Verse 1]
         A
Well I'm stuck in Minneapolis
         E
With the snow fallin' all around us
F#m            B              E
Thinking I overstayed past my time
        A
Now I'm freezin' and believing
         E
Folks up here are most confusing'
     F#                            B
That first flight to Phoenix on my mind

[Chorus]
E
That first flight to Phoenix
          A
Where the land is scenic
     E                            B
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
     E
Look at these yankees suffering
A
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
E         B                   E
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Verse 2]
        A
You can keep your snow skiing
    E
And temps below freezing
    F#m          B               E
And ice fishin', no that aint my bag
    A
I'd rather drive with the top down
    E
Ice from the freezer, not the ground
    F#                        B
And nothing like that january tan

[Chorus]
E
That first flight to Phoenix
          A
Where the land is scenic
     E                            B
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
     E
Look at these yankees suffering
A
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
E         B                   E
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Solo]
A E F#m B E E7
A E F# B
E A B E

[Verse 3]
A
Not a fan of them long johns
E
Rather wear a bright thong
F#m        B             E
I know the ladies will admire
  A
A man who can pour champagne
E
While on a boat that bears their name
F#                              B
Not on my knees putting on snow tires

[Chorus]
E
That first flight to Phoenix
          A
Where the land is scenic
     E                            B
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
     E
Look at these yankees suffering
A
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
E         B                   E
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Chorus 2]
N.C.
That first flight to Phoenix
N.C.
This plan is genius
N.C.
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
N.C.
Look at these yankees suffering
N.C.
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
N.C.
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Chorus]
E
That first flight to Phoenix
          A
Where the land is scenic
     E                            B
Just warm sand far as the eye can see
     E
Look at these yankees suffering
A
Shiverin' like it ain't nothing
E         B                   E
No sir, a snowbird's life for me

[Outro]
       E         B                   E
I said no sir, a snowbird's life for me
    E             A B
Get me out of here
E
See you back in June
Yeah, that's it
