Taking our time before its through
Gsus4
Passing our days in old shoes

Sister - think I'm returning to Peru
C Gsus4/B Am7
Wish that I never came here
Gsus 4 Cadd9
They can't pronounce my name here
C A7sus4 Gsus4
Everyone asks me "Where's Peru?"
[Chorus]
Cadd9 C
In Peru we've lengthened the day
Cadd9 C
In Peru we've strengthened the dollar
Cadd9 C
There are mountains piercing our skies
A7sus4 C
And the ocean at our shores
Cadd9 C
I will save up all of my wages
Cadd9 C
Even retail crummy cosmetics
Cadd9 C
I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 C
As the winter slips away.

Colonial dons in old straw hats
