G
Steve was sippin’ tea by the kitchen sink
C
Said we’d better check that windmill when we finish our drinks
D
It’s probably stopped pumpin’ since the storm went through
C D G
And I bet ya there’s a heap of work to do
N.C.
When Steve and Dan rode down they found
C
The windmill’s tail crumpled on the ground
D
The storm had really twisted some fans about
C D G
They got to work to straighten that windmill out
N.C.
When they finished patchin’ that windmill up
C
Steve let out a laugh and he put down his cup
D
Said “I bet you fifty bucks you can’t swing from the fan”
C D G
Dan said “For fifty bucks I bet you I can”
N.C.
Dan climbed on everythin’ was roses
C
When a big wind blew he yelled “holy Moses”
D
The wind began to spin the fan so fast
C D G
That the ground was a blur as the world spun past
[Chorus]
Em C G
There was crazy Dan swingin’ from the fan
D
Sixty feet high in the sky
Em C G
When a big wind blew well it really flew
C D G
Spinnin’ round and a round and around like a merry go round
N.C.
Dan’s knuckles were white as he clung to the fan
C
Had his cheeks pushed back like a freakshow man
D
He screamed “Steve, shut this bastard down”
C D G
But Steve was bent up laughin’ back on the ground
[Chorus]
Em C G
There was crazy Dan swingin’ from the fan
D
Sixty feet high in the sky
Em C G
When a big wind blew well it really flew
C D G
Spinnin’ round and a round and around like a merry go round
[Solo]
Em C G D Em C G C D G
[Verse]
N.C.
When Steve finally shut that windmill down
C
Dan’s brain was a spinnin’ when he climbed to the ground
D
Eyes rolled back and his guts in a bind
C D G
“I’ll have that fifty bucks now, if ya don’t mind”
Five years on at a bar in town
C
They laughed at the day Dan was spinnin’ around
D
For fifty bucks he said “I don’t know why I did it”
C D G
Steve said “For fifty bucks it was worth every damn minute”
[Chorus] x2
Em C G
There was crazy Dan swingin’ from the fan
D
Sixty feet high in the sky
Em C G
When a big wind blew well it really flew
C D G
Spinnin’ round and a round and around like a merry go round
[Outro]
Em C G
There was crazy Dan swingin’ from the fan
D
Sixty feet high in the sky
Em C G
When a big wind blew well it really flew
C D G
Spinnin’ round and a round and around like a merry go
C D G C G
round and around and around like a merry go round
