[A]
I smile like Herbert Hoover
when the big bands play
I frequent the dance halls most
every night into the day
I know the name of every trombone
player that exists
They don't know I used to blow before
the Crash had hit our land
[D]Be fore

[Verse 12]
[A]the[B] Crash[A]

[Verse 13]
[A]
I find it so much warmer in the
ballroom than at home
A common bond unites us so we're
really not alone
Sure we've got some problems,
but tonight we won't admit it
Take my hand my lady friend,
we'll make it seem like we were there tonight
[D][B][A]
