[Verse]
D Asus4/C# Bm7
Taking our time before its through
Asus4
Passing our days in old shoes
Cadd9 D A7sus4 Asus4
Sister - think I'm returning to Peru
D Asus4/C# Bm7
Wish that I never came here
Asus 4 Cadd9
They can't pronounce my name here
D A7sus4 Asus4
Everyone asks me "Where's Peru?"
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D
In Peru we've lengthened the day
Cadd9 D
In Peru we've strengthened the dollar
Cadd9 D
There are mountains piercing our skies
A7sus4 D
And the ocean at our shores
Cadd9 D
I will save up all of my wages
Cadd9 D
Even retail crummy cosmetics
Cadd9 D
I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 D
As the winter slips away.
