D A E G
They asked me to come down and watch the parade
D A E G
And to march down the street like the duracell bunny
D A E G
With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade
D A E G
Throwing out candy that looks like money
F#7 Bm A E* G F#7*
To people passing by that all seem to be going the other way
A D A E G
Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
-----
D A E G
Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar
D A E G
People were shouting and pushing and saying
D A E G
And when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar
D A E G
A ridiculous marching band started playing
F#7 Bm A E* G F#7*
And got me singing 'long with some half-hearted victory song
-----
A D A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
F#7 E A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
-----
D A E G
The trumpet has obviously been drinking
D A E G
'Cos he's fucking up even the simplest lines
D A E G
I'd say it's a sight that's quite worth seeing
D A E G
It's just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine
F#7 Bm A E*
And when they clean the street I'll be the only shit
G F#7*
that's left behind
-----
A D A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
D A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
F#7 E A E G
Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
