Verse 2: D A E G5 Tripped over a dog in a choke-chain collar D A E G5 People were shouting and pushing and saying D A E G5 And when I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar D A E G5 a ridiculous marching band started playing Gb7 Bm A E G5 Gb7 And got me singing 'long with some half-hearted victory song Chorus: A D A E G5 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
