[C#]Back in sixty-[B]eight in a sweaty [C#]club (oh [B]Geno)
Before [C#]Jimmy's machine and the [B]rocksteady rub[C#] (oh [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] practicin' steps and keepin' [F#m]out of the fights
[A] Academic [E]inspiration[B] you gave me [F#]none
[A] You were Mi[E]chael the lover[B] the fighter that [F#]won
[A] And now just [E]look at me as I'm a-[B]looking down on [F#]you
[A] No I'm not [E]being flash it's[B] what I'm built to [F#]do
[C#]
C# B (x2)
[C#]That man took the [B]stage his towel swinging [C#]high (oh Ge[B]no)
[C#]This man was my [B]bombers, my dexys, my [C#]highs (oh [B]Geno)
And 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 your all over your [F#m]song is so tame
Brrr[B]r you fed me your bread and I'll re[F#m]member your name
[A] Academic [E]inspiration[B] you gave me [F#]none
[A] You were Mi[E]chael the lover[B] the fighter that [F#]won
[A] And now just [E]look at me as I'm a-[B]looking down on [F#]you
[A] No I'm not [E]being flash it's[B] what I'm built to [F#]do
A B F# E (x2) A B C#

[C#] Oh [B]Geno
