lyrics

Hoodoo County - Dan Frechette © 1991

G intro

I was (Em) searching for a woman in the (C.) summer of (G) love
(Em) too bad the ladies were (C.) hard to (G) find
it was (Em) during that summer was (C.) approaching (G) me
that we (C.) spoke for a while and she gazed into my (G) mind

It's like (G) swimming in a (Am) river being (C.) pushed down(G) stream
(G) strange looking (Am) visions painted (C.) in your (G) mind
now (Em) easy living ain't what it (C.) seems to (G) be (D)
when you're (C.) hanging around with the other kind (G)

(chorus)
It's been a (C.) long (Em) day in (Am) hoodoo (G) county
it's been a (C.) short (Em) night in (Am) voodoo (G) calm
well, (C.) how can I (Em) persuade for (Am) you to (G) join me, (D) yeah,
(C.) under the moonlit (G) calm

Well a (G) miracle's gonna (C.) catch up to (G) me
If it (G) comes any (Am) closer just (C.) chase it (G) away
while I'm (Em) waiting for a change in the (C.) scenery (G) (D)
I'm gonna (C.) save my mind for another (G) day

(chorus)
G-C-G-G-D-D-C-D-G-Em-G-A-C-G

You can (G) pick up your (Am) remains and (C.) leave me (G) be
because (G) I find it (Am) hard to stare (C.) in your (G) eyes
or we can (Em) wait a bit but (C.) still feel free (G) (D)
now I know (C.) how it feels when the sparrow (G) cries
now I (C.) know how it feels when the sparrow (Em) flies
and I (C.) know how it feels when the sparrow (G) dies

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
