Mary Chapin Carpenter - Down At The Twist And Shout Chords

D                      
Saturday night and the moon is out
        A                  
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
       E                      
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
        A                     
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
D                      D    
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
       A                      A
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
      E                                     A   
Wanna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

       E                           
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
A                        
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
      E                       
But I heard that music on the radio
      A                    
And I swore some day I was gonna go
     F#m             
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
   B7                
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
   E                   
To send you a card with my regrets 
                                 A     
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home

             E
They got an alligator stew and a crawfish pie
   A
A gulf storm blowing into town tonight
    E
Living on the delta's quite a show
          A
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
    F#m
But here up north it's a cold, cold rain
           B7
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
  E
Except when the paper says Beausoleil
                                      A
Is a-coming into town, baby let's go down

           E
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
          A
They got lots of music and lots of room
           E
When they play you a waltz from a-1910
        A
You're gonna feel a little bit young again
          F#m
Well you learned to dance with your rock and roll
     B7
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
         E
But you learn to love at the fais-do-do
                               A
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
