Capo 4 (all chords relative to capo)

Dawn Brady's son
CGF
Dawn Brady's son
CFG
Spent all his life in the shadow
CGF
Just up the road
CGF
They rent a bungalow
CEmGFAm
But in the old day his dad raised the flag on a pole
FG
And the wind made it dance all wrong
CGF
But raising a son
CGF
Raising up a son
CEmGFAmAmus2
He found raising that flag to be easier done
FG
And when we heard the branch
FG
And the rope made him dance all wrong
CGF
Sha na na
CGF
Sha na na
CGF
Dawn Brady's son
CGF
You know the one
CEmGFAm
His old ma found ways to keep the kerosene on
FG
She'd drink and she'd dance
FG
Ooo how she'd dance till the red dawn
CGF
And the headlights would come
CGF
She'd sing the same old song
CEmGFAmAsus2Am
She'd say "go on out now child walk a while I wont be long"
FG
Through the window he'd glance
FG
At the flame from that kerosene lamp
FG
But the way that it danced was all wrong
CGF
Sha na na who'se gonna make it turn out all right
CGF
Sha na na just a little bump from the tired eyes
CGF
Sha na na that ought to keep ya shaking all night
CGF
(Guitar solo begins here at 3:40)

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