Downtown Vcu Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

CShe asked me to dance and then she Gpaused

 she was a Cneighborhood local at her Glocal bar

 with Fshoulder length brown Ghair

 and an accent CI found fairly Frare

Cone part country Gone part urban Cthug...total fox

CI was out of my elementG

Cnew to the neighborhood and clearly Glacking friends

 just Fadding to the Gmess of white ball Ccaps

 and red keg Fcups

Cdropping home Gvalues and raising Crent

CAfter the pause things became cGonfusing

 she asked "aCre you a real man or a Gcollege student?"

 I did not Fknow what to Gsay

 I'd started Cschool that very Fday

 which is Cnothing but a big Gbusiness I sCuppose

CRight then and there my heart did Gdrop

 she Cturned and walked away without a sGecond thought

 I should have Flistened to my dGad

 when he said "worCk with your hands not your Fhead

 and your Cbillfold will stay Gfull and you won't be paying Cout debt"

So men the purpose of this song

is to go ahead and pass my father's wisdom on

go on and callous up them hands

learns some knots and turn a wrench

cause in four years there won't be any jobs left anyway

If I'd taken my old man's advice

I might be laid up in the bed beside that fox tonight

instead my mouth tastes like jello shooters

and i'm lurking here on this darn computer

well man that's all i've got ... good night
