B7
down under the wind of the fast step
Dsus2
they put around till the Charleston bump and hit
A
where hope is a four leaf clover

down there where the wind is all that's it

hold still where the dream is a servant

B7
don't matter the laugh of the sad eyes
Dsus2
when the heart of a man can dance and spin
A
bow down to the dick in the doorway
B7
bow down cause he might just let you in
Dsus2
bow down to this breakfast without her
A
she'll be there sharp at nine but it's half past ten
B7
bow down as the fleet is departing
Dsus2
she sees you you see her both with that stupid assed grin.
