The chords used in this song are mostly barre chords, but you can use pretty
much any variation of each chord that you want and it still sounds great.


C#5        Ab5        A5          B5
  She came in on the red-eye to Dallas-Fort Worth.
E5         Ab5       A5         B5
  All the way from sunny Taipei.
C#5        Ab5         A5        B5
  Skin the color of a walnut shell,
      E5                Ab5       A5                B5
And a baseball cap holding down her black hair.
             A5             B5 
And she came here after midnight.
E5                          A5
  The hot weather made her feel right at home.
        E5      A5
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
                   E5          A5                B5
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.

C#5        Ab5          A5    B5
  He drove in from Mexicali no worse for wear.
E5          Ab5   A5        B5
  Money to burn, time to kill, but
C#5    Ab5      A5              B5
  Five minutes looking in his eyes and 
         E5              Ab5             A5          B5              A5
  We all knew he was broken pretty bad, so we gave him what we had.
                              B5
We cleared a space for him to sleep in,
               E5
And we let the silence that's our trademark
A5
Make its presence felt.
        E5      A5
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
                   E5          A5                B5
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.


C#5      Ab5      A5       B5
E5                       B5

C#5         Ab5        A5       B5              E5
  They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling.
                Ab5      A5
Some were bright-eyed,
          B5
Some were dead on their feet.
E5          Ab5           A5              B5          E5
  And they came from Zimbabwe, Or from Soviet Georgia,
           Ab5             A5                 B5               A5
East Saint Louis, or from Paris, or they lived across the street.
                               B5
But they came, and when they'd finally made it here,
           E5                         A5                   
It was the least that we could do to make our welcome clear.
        E5      A5    
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
                   E5            A5                B5
Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.


E5                       A5
E5                       A5
E5                       B5
