Dawn Brady's son
C             F           G
Spent all his life in the shadow
C           G      F
Just up the road
C           G         F
They rent a bungalow
C          Em          G                   F   Am    
But in the old day his dad raised the flag on a pole
F                    G
And the wind made it dance all wrong
C   G              F
But raising a son
C   G              F
Raising up a son
C        Em           G          F      Am  Asus2 Am  
He found raising that flag to be easier done
F                     G
And when we heard the branch
F                     G
And the rope made him dance all wrong
C     G    F
Sha na na
C     G    F
Sha na na

C         G     F
You know the one
C       Em       G                F        Am
His old ma found ways to keep the kerosene on
F                     G
She'd drink and she'd dance
F             G      
Ooo how she'd dance till the red dawn
C                  G           F   
And the headlights would come
C                  G           F                      
She'd sing the same old song
C          Em            G            F               Am  Asus2 Am
She'd say "go on out now child walk a while I wont be long"
F                       G
Through the window he'd glance
                  F            G
At the flame from that kerosene lamp
F                   G
But the way that it danced was all wrong
C    G   F
Sha na na who'se gonna make it turn out all right
C    G   F
Sha na na just a little bump from the tired eyes
C    G   F
Sha na na that ought to keep ya shaking all night
C    G   F

Dawn Brady's son
C    G       F
He got a gun
C          Em         G        F            Am
And waited out by the flagpole there in the lawn
F                 G
Just there in the shadow
C               G      F          
And the boy has got to die
C               G       F
To make way for the man inside
C         Em           G             F         Am 
But no one told us that flags turn to rags over time
F                       G
Still the wind makes us dance
F                 G
The wind makes us dance
F    G
