[Gb] [Ab] She came in [A] on the red eye [B] to Dallas [Em]-Fort Worth, [Ab] all the way [A] from sunny [B] Taipei.
[Dbm] [Abm] Skin the color [A] of a [B] walnut shell [E] and a baseball [Ab]
cap.
[A] Holding down her [B] black hair, [A] she came here at [B] midnight.
[E] The hot weather made her feel right at home.
Come on in,
[A] we haven't slept for weeks.
[E] Drink some of this, it'll put [A] color [B] in your cheeks.
[Dbm] He [Ab] drove in from [A] Mexicali, [B] no worse [E] for wear, [Ab] money to burn.
[A] [B] Time to [Db] kill, but
[Ab] five [A] minutes.
Looking [B] in his [E] eyes, we all knew [Ab] he was broken [A] pretty bad.
[B] So we gave him what [A] we had, we cleared the space for [B] him to sleep in.
And we let [Em] the [E] silence, that's our trademark, [A] make its presence felt.
[E] Come on in, [A] we haven't slept for weeks.
Drink [E] some of this, it'll put [A] color in [B] your cheeks.

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