I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola, and Tampa, St. Pete

My particular bare feet like to splash in the waves 
                   E7      A 
Maybe misbehave, occasionally  
           G 
I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line 
             D 
Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores 
   A 
A very special chart, is locked in my heart, 
     E                   A 
Of places that I love to be
