C G F
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
Dawn Brady's son
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

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
