F Csus4/E Dm7
Taking our time before its through
Csus4
Passing our days in old shoes

Sister - think I'm returning to Peru
F Csus4/E Dm7
Wish that I never came here
Csus 4 Cadd9
They can't pronounce my name here
F A7sus4 Csus4
Everyone asks me "Where's Peru?"
[Chorus]
Cadd9 F
In Peru we've lengthened the day
Cadd9 F
In Peru we've strengthened the dollar
Cadd9 F
There are mountains piercing our skies
A7sus4 F
And the ocean at our shores
Cadd9 F
I will save up all of my wages
Cadd9 F
Even retail crummy cosmetics
Cadd9 F
I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 F
As the winter slips away.

Colonial dons in old straw hats
