down under the wind of the fast step
Asus2
they put around till the Charleston bump and hit

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

F#7
don't matter the laugh of the sad eyes
Asus2
when the heart of a man can dance and spin
E
bow down to the dick in the doorway
F#7
bow down cause he might just let you in
Asus2
bow down to this breakfast without her
E
she'll be there sharp at nine but it's half past ten
F#7
bow down as the fleet is departing
Asus2
she sees you you see her both with that stupid assed grin.
