   She came in on the redeye to dallas-fort 

E5               Ab5      A5        B5
worth.  All the way from sunny taipei.

E5           Ab5        A5      B5
   Skin the color of a walnut shell, And a

E5            Ab5          A5              B5
baseball cap      holding down her black hair. And she came

A5    A5        B5         B5
here    after midnight.

E5            E5                E5             E5
     The hot weather made her feel right at home. Come on

E5       E5       A5                 A5
in,          we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E5       E5         A5             B5
this.   it'll put color in your cheeks.

    He drove from in from mexicali, no worse for wear.

E5            Ab5   A5          B5
    Money to burn,    time to kill. but

E5       Ab5     A5              B5
   five minutes looking in his eyes and we all

E5           Ab5           A5          B5
knew he was broken pretty bad, so we gave him what we 

A5                  A5                B5                B5
had.  We cleared a space for him to sleep in, and we let the

E5                  E5                E5                 E5
silence that's our trademark        make its presence felt. Come on

E5       E5       A5                 A5
in,          we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E5       E5         A5             B5
this.   it'll put color in your cheeks.

      They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling.

E5              Ab5           A5             B5
     Some were bright-eyed.      Some were dead on their feet.

E5                 Ab5        A5              B5
    And they came in from zimbabwe, Or from soviet, 

E5                    Ab5            A5              B5
georgia.  East saint louis, or from paris, or they lived across the street.

A5             A5                     B5                B5
     But they came, and when they'd finally made it here, It was the 

E5                   E5     E5                E5
least that we could do to make our welcome clear.  Come on

E5       E5       A5                 A5
in,          we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E5       E5         A5             B5
this.   it'll put color in your cheeks.
