I'm always saying this now.
This is an old song, but I remember when it [Db] was not.
And it's a song about, you know, making new friends.
She [Ab] came [A] in on a red-eye [B] to Dallas [E]-Fort Worth
[Ab] All the way, [A]
sunny type [B]-A
[Dbm] [Ab] Skin the color [A] of a walnut [B] tree
[Em] And a baseball [Ab] cap [A] holding down her dark [B] hair
And she [A] came here after [B] midnight
The [E] hot weather made her feel right at home
Come on in,
[A] we haven't slept for weeks
And [E] drink some of this, it'll put [A] color [B] in your cheeks
[Dbm] [Ab] He drove in [A] from Mexico, [B] no [Em] worse from where
Money [Ab] to [A] burn, [B] time to [A] kill
[Db] But [Ab] five minutes, [A] look [B] in his eyes
And we knew he [Ab] was broken pretty [A] bad
[B] So we gave him what we [A] had, we cleared a space for him to [B] sleep in
And we let [E] the silence, that's our trademark
Make its graceful presence felt
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks
And drink some of this, it'll put [A] color [B] in your cheeks

[B] [Dbm] [Ab]
came in [A] by the [B] dozens, walking [E] or crawling
Some [Ab] were bright [A]-eyed, [B] some were dead on [Dbm] their feet
[Ab] And they came [A] from Zimbabwe, [B] or from Soviet Georgia
[Ab] East St.
Louis, or [A] from Paris, or [B] they lived across the [A] street
But they came, [B] and when they finally made it here
It was [E] the least that we could do to make our welcome clear
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks
And drink some of this, cause this'll put [A] color in [B] your cheeks
