Roger McGuinn You Bowed Down written by Elvis Costello
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
I suppose you're entitled to know why I'm making contacts
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
With acquaintances scattered all over the land
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
I'd promise you now and again that I'd honor the contract
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand
Ab Bb Fm Bb
Well we broke that vow independently now
F Cm Ab Ab/G Fm
But I don't know why you absolutely deny
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
It must have hurt to see how dreams sour
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
Now they say that justice and love are the next thing to blindnesss
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
Well you're getting plenty of both of them now
Ab Bb Fm Bb
And so you parade where appointments are made
F Cm Ab Ab/G Fm
And never meant to be kept unless you accept
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
Ab Bb Ab
You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves
Bb
And you'll long to delay
Ab Bb
You'll feel their breath as they whisper
Ab
It won't hurt you to betray
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
If you just bow down just bow down
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
Just bow down just bow down
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
You're helping them sell off some new party line
Eb Eb/D Cm Ab Fm
I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior
Ab Eb Fm Bbsus Bb
Now you say will you please meet this good friend of mine
Ab Bb Fm Bb
So your in demand as long as you'll kiss their hand
F Cm Ab Ab/G Fm
But all the applause is for their name not yours
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Bb
You bowed down you bowed down
