We'll Dance. Tiki King 2002

Intro chord is C, then into "AM7 mute stroke"
which is strumming the strings open and then
quickly muting to get the percussive sound.
open, mute, open, mute, etc.



Down in Mexico they say,


Even the dead they have a day

AM7       F      C               AM7 mute stroke
And they dance. Oh, they dance


And in New Orleans I'm told,


the ghosts that dance down there are old,

AM7       F           C
But they dance, they dance

chorus:
             G7
Because the words you write and the songs you've sung


They do live on and when you're gone,

       F              C      AM7 mute stroke
They dance, how they dance


The pirate, the poet, the boys in the band


They take their muses by the hand

  AM7        F              C      AM7 mute stroke
and they dance, oh they dance


The artist, the writer, the drunkard, the saint


Words and music, ink and paint,

AM7        F              C
it's a dance, oh it's a dance

(chorus)


So many people, all in a trance, focused on dying,

               AM7        F              C       AM7 mute stroke
Really they've died in advance,  Oh, In advance


Inspiration changes minds, show'm they're artists

                           AM7        F                C
And then when it's time, they can dance, Oh, they can dance


(chorus) (Break)

Down in Mexico they say even the dead, they have a day

AM7      F              C      AM7 mute stroke
And they dance, oh they dance


And when I die, I hope some day,


Someone will sit on my grave and play

  AM7      F              C
And I'll dance, how I'll dance

              G7
Because the words you write and the songs you've sung

                                      AM7  F               C
They do live on and when you're gone, they dance, how they dance

    G7
And when I die, I hope some day,


Someone will sit on my grave and play

  AM7      F              C     AM7 mute stroke
And I'll dance, how I'll dance
