[Verse]
G Dsus4/F# Em7
Taking our time before its through
Dsus4
Passing our days in old shoes
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Dsus4
Sister - think I'm returning to Peru
G Dsus4/F# Em7
Wish that I never came here
Dsus 4 Cadd9
They can't pronounce my name here
G A7sus4 Dsus4
Everyone asks me "Where's Peru?"
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
In Peru we've lengthened the day
Cadd9 G
In Peru we've strengthened the dollar
Cadd9 G
There are mountains piercing our skies
A7sus4 G
And the ocean at our shores
Cadd9 G
I will save up all of my wages
Cadd9 G
Even retail crummy cosmetics
Cadd9 G
I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 G
As the winter slips away.

I will work my passage in stages
A7sus4 G
As the winter slips away.

Miles of golden beaches
Dsus4
Excellent wines and features
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Dsus4
Mister - take a week off in Gay Peru.
G Dsus4/F# Em7
Penitent monks to stare at
Dsus4
Colonial dons in old straw hats

Everyone's there in Gay Peru

Oo-poo-Peru.
