Mcc - Down At The Twis And Shout guitar tab

DOWN AT THE TWIST AND SHOUT (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

---------------------------------------------------

[Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret]

C C

Saturday night and the moon is out

G G

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

D D

Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

G G

When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

C C - D

Out in the middle of a big dance floor

G G

When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

D D G G

Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

D D

Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans

G G

Never have drifted down a bayou stream

D D

But I heard that music on the radio

G G

And I swore some day I was gonna go

Em Em

Down Highway 10 past Lafayette

A7 A7

To Baton Rouge and I won't forget

D D

To send you a card with my regrets

D G

'Cause I'm never gonna come back home

Saturday night and the moon is out

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

Out in the middle of a big dance floor

When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie

A gulf storm blowing into town tonight

Living on the delta's quite a show

They got hurricane parties every time it blows

But here up north it's a cold, cold rain

And there ain't no cure for my blues today

Except when the paper says Beausoleil

Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down

It's Saturday night and the moon is out

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

Out in the middle of a big dance floor

When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too

They got lots of music and lots of room

When they play you a waltz from a-1910

You're gonna feel a little bit young again

Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll

You learned to swing with a do-si-do

But you learn to love at the fais-do-do

When you hear a little Jolie Blon

Saturday night and the moon is out

I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout

Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat

When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet

Out in the middle of a big dance floor

When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more

Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
