         Am7
A tower room at Eden Rock, his golf at noon for free

Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

A case of aces done up loose for dealing

A piece of island coolin' in the sea

The whole of time we gain or lose, and power enough to choose

This is how I play it--maybe not exactly how it sounds on the original recording, but
darn close.  I find it difficult to play Bb so I sometimes use the fifth and when I'm
adventurous I use Bb13 (x20233).  A flashy technique I also like is to bar the C11 chord 
your thumb then quckly jump back to the barred F chord during he chorus.  Listen to the
over and over and you'll get the rhythm.  I play it a little more uptempo than the Dan.
