CAPO: 3rd Fret
In the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
And it's [C]well you know the reason [G]why
As we stepped out together at the country faire
To [C]dance away the cool from a [D]cool spring night
Your [G]hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
That [C]dances on a crystal [D]pond
And we [G]fell in love at the [Em]country faire
When we danced to greet the dawn
And I never was much of the frugal sort
I [C]never made the rent on [G]time
But I've two strong hands to support myself
To [C]spin in your arms or to [D]spend my dime
[G]Never been much for the candy or the flowers
But I'm [C]always gonna treat you righ[D]t
'Cause we [G]fell in love at the [Em]country faire
When we [C]danced a[D]way the [G]night [Em][C][D][G]
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
Is that [D]all you can do in this [C]crazy [D]world?[C]
Spin and [G]twirl, 'til you [D]spin your life away
And you were never much the im[G]pulsive sort
You [C]think before you make your [G]moves
It's head up high, stand up tall
[C]Never give an inch, [D]never wanna lose
[G]Solid as a rock, fluid as the water
When the [C]band begins to [D]play
And we [G]fell in love at the [Em]country faire
When we [C]danced 'til [D]break of [G]day
So, in the shadow of the cottonwoods, grass don't grow
And it's [C]well you know the reason [G]why
As we stepped out together at the country faire
To [C]dance away the cool from a [D]cool spring night
Your [G]hair, spun gold, floated like a reed
That [C]dances on a crystal [D]pond
And we [G]danced all night 'neath the [Em]cottonwood trees
And that is why the grass is gone
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
Is that [D]all you can do in this [C]crazy [D]world?[C]
Spin and [G]twirl, 'til you [D]spin your life away
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
And it's spin and twirl
C ~ Am
Spin and twirl
C ~ Am D C-G-Am-Am-D-G
Spin and twirl, 'til you spin your life away
