As recorded by Jimmy Buffett

[Intro]
C  G  F  C   G
F G C
 
 
[Chorus]
C                  G
Close calls, close calls
F G       C
I will survive
                 G
Brick walls, big balls
F                 G
Lucky just to be alive
  C
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint
   F                      D
He whipped my ass, that's beside the point
      C            G
Close calls, close calls
F             G   C    F G C
Lucky just to be alive
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                     G
Been in lots of tight spots
   F           G       C
So many that I can't explain
               G
Big shots, bon mots
F                     G
I don't always use my brain
      C
Scuba divin' Pensacola
C
Hundred twenty feet down
       F
I'm so glad Jack buddy-breathed me
     D
Or I guess I would have drowned
      C            G
Close calls, close calls
                      C
I don't always use my brain
 
 
[Bridge]
E7
Life can be a pickle
E7
Or a stalk of sugar cane
    F
One day you're wrestlin' 'gators
     D                                 G
Next day you're singing "Never Been to Spain"
   A        D
In Spain in Spanish!
 
 
[Fiddle Solo]
A  G A D   A  G  A  D
G  E7  D  A  G A D
 
 
[Chorus]
D                  A
Close calls, close calls
G         D
I will survive
                 A
Brick walls, big balls
G                 A
Lucky just to be alive
  D
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint
   G                      E7
He whipped my ass, that's beside the point
      D            A
Close calls, close calls
G             A   D
Lucky just to be alive
                   A
Close calls, close calls
G         D
I will survive
                   A
Close calls, close calls
G             A   D
Lucky just to be alive
 
 
[Outro]
