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