How to play "Last Mango in Paris" by Jimmy Buffett on acoustic guitar

Today's lesson will show you how to play Jimmy Buffett's classic tune Last Mango in Paris.

This is a great song, written in 1985 as a tribute to Jimmy's good friend Anthony "Captain Tony" Tarracino, who passed away last November. This song can be a difficult song to sing and play on acoustic guitar, but I'm able to pull it off by capoing the guitar on the 5th fret and playing the following chords: G, C, Em, Am, and D. This is what the song sounds like when played by me on acoustic guitar:



Enjoy!
