Here's a stab at one of my favorite Buffet songs.  Corrections and
suggestions are welcomed.  The slash notation for those unfamiliar
with it just indicates the bass note played with the chord. For
example G/F# is a G chord with an F# bass note
 
Use this G

Death Of An Unpopular Poet  (Jimmy Buffet)
 
 
   G      G/F#   C   G     C      C/B       D
   I once knew a poet, who lived before his time
   G       G/F#    C     G     C          C/B    D
   He and his dog Spooner, who listened while he rhymed
   Em               Bm     C        C/B     F   D
   Words to make ya happy, words to make you cry
   G        G/F#    C   G  C    D     G    C G
   Then one day the poet suddenly did die
 
 
  G        G/F#        C   G   C          C/B       D
But he left behind a closet, filled with verse and rhyme
   G          G/F#      C       G
Through some strange transaction one was
C       C/B     D
printed in the Times
 Em               Bm             C     C/B    F     D
And everybody searchin for the king of underground
   G         G/F#    C       G       C
Well they found him down in Florida, with a
D                G   C  G
tombstone for a crown
 
 
   C   C/B       D
   And everybody knows the lines
   C       C/B              D
   From his book that costs $4.99
   C     C/B           D
   And I wonder if he knows he's doin
   C          G
   Quite this fine
 
 
   G       G/F#                  C   G
Cause his books are all best sellers,
      C        C/B         D
his poems were turned to songs
   G      G/F#         C      G    C        C/B        D
Had his brother on a talk show, though they never got along
   Em              Bm   C        C/B     F     F/E    D
And now he's called immortal, yes he's even taught in school
   G      G/F#      C   G   C   D    G     C  G
They say he used his talent, a most proficient tool
 
 
   But he left all of his royalties, to Spooner his old hound
   Growin old on steak and bacon, in a dog house 10 feet 'round
   And everybody wonders, did he really lose his mind
   No, he was just a poet who lived before his time.

He plays it live with a Capo on the 7th

In a recent YouTube video, he plays it with the capo on the 5th fret, but walking down the D chord shape instead of the G. What a great song!

This is one of the three Buffett songs that Bob Dylan has professed admiration for (as far as I know so far). You have to watch Jimmy himself play it, and on the video you can see exactly how he picks it. And the smiles he flashes before and during the last verse are just priceless! If the video doesn't open just search for the song and "directed by Delaney" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAr3jNz1Vrw
