(all chords relative to capo) Dawn Brady's son Dawn Brady's son Spent all his life in the shadow Just up the road They rent a bungalow But in the old day his dad raised the flag on a pole And the wind made it dance all wrong But raising a son Raising up a son He found raising that flag to be easier done And when we heard the branch And the rope made him dance all wrong Sha na na Sha na na Dawn Brady's son You know the one His old ma found ways to keep the kerosene on She'd drink and she'd dance Ooo how she'd dance till the red dawn And the headlights would come She'd sing the same old song She'd say "go on out now child walk a while I wont be long" Through the window he'd glance At the flame from that kerosene lamp But the way that it danced was all wrong Sha na na who'se gonna make it turn out all right Sha na na just a little bump from the tired eyes Sha na na that ought to keep ya shaking all night (Guitar solo begins here at 3:40) Dawn Brady's son He got a gun And waited out by the flagpole there in the lawn Just there in the shadow And the boy has got to die To make way for the man inside But no one told us that flags turn to rags over time Still the wind makes us dance The wind makes us dance
