D                           A
Like an empty bottle washed up by the waves
G                                A
Like an ol' schooner slippin' slowly to its grave
        D                   A
Like ghosts of old sailors caught somewhere in time
 G                                   A
Like a lone palm that's watched the world unwind,
I got

Chorus:
G           A         D
Nowhere to go and nowhere to be
G                      D
Trinidad Charlie on a stool next to me
G                           D

Even if its only for a little while
Sight of the sails in the wind makes me smile

Chorus

Bm        A     G
Days turn into night
Bm            A         G
When you're stuck in still life, and you got

Chorus:
And you got nowhere to go and nowhere to be
"Trinidad Charlie" on a stool next to me
Reading his book bout the "have" and "have-nots,"
In between chapters we take another shot
And one by one we slide from reality
With nowhere to go, and no where to be
