Geno
Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!
[C#] [B] [C#] [B] [C#] [B] [C#] [B]
[C#] Back in '68 [B] The weight of this world at the club [C#] (Oh, [B] Geno) Before [C#] Jimmy's Machine and The [B] Rocksteady Rub [C#] (Ohhhhh [B] Geno) On a [B] night when flowers didn't [F#m] suit my shoes
After a [B] week of flunkin' and [F#m] bunkin' school
The [B] lowest head in the [F#m] crowd that night
Just [B] polishing steps and keepin' [F#m] outta the fights
[A] Academic [E] inspiration, [B] you gave me [F#] none
[A] You were [E] Michael, the lover, [B] the fighter that [F#] won [A] But now just [E] look at me, as I'm [B] looking down at [F#] you [A] No, I'm not [E] being flash. It's what, [B] I'm built to [F#] do
[C#] [C#] [B] [C#] [B]
[C#] That man took the [B] stage, his tow-el swingin' [C#] high, (Oh [B] Geno) [C#] This man was my [B] bombers, my Dexy's, my [C#] high (Ohhhhh [B] Geno) The [B] crowd they all hailed you, and [F#m] chanted your name
But they never [B] knew, like we knew. Me and [F#m] you we're the same
And [B] now you're all over, your [F#m] song is so tame, Brrrrrrr
[B] You fed me, you bred me, I'll [F#m] remember your name
[A] Academic [E] inspiration, [B] you gave me [F#] none
[A] You were [E] Michael, the lover, [B] the fighter that [F#] won [A] But now just [E] look at me, I'm [B] looking down at [F#] you [A] No, I'm not [E] being flash. It's what, [B] I'm built to [F#] do
[A] [B] [F#] [E] [A] [B] [F#] [E] [A] [B] [C#] [C#] Oh [B] Geno, [C#] Woh oh oh [B] Geno
[C#] Oh [B] Geno, [C#] Woh oh oh [B] Geno [C#]
