Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The chords are played on the Grateful Dead-album recording with an alternating

bass, you can play it like that if you want.

Like this:

I know they're gonna run to me

When they get across the sea

Every chance to win when Washington lands in France

(silence)

All safe for now sugar baby

Oh mama don't you weep and moan

Uncle Sam got your man and gone

Now they're doing the Lindy Bird across the sea (intro is played here)

Oh mama how can it be

You went way across the sea

Just to keep from doing that Lindy Bird with me

Oh baby well I done told you now

You should have seen me with my uniform on

I could Lindy just as sure as you're born

And then I'd do that Lindy Bird with you (intro)

I asked her for a piece of banana

She said let me play the blues on your piano

And then I'll do that Lindy Bird with you

She said she had a dream about a submarine

I asked her for a glass of kaola

She said let me play the blues on your victrola

And then I'll do the Lindy Bird with you (intro)
