Why don’t we Am7dance just a little
Dm7Dance with me
We’ll put our G7politics aside
And set our C7worries free
Baby, the Am7day’s moving slowly
And Dm7so are we
Let’s just G7float here for a while
We’ll lose track of time
But why should we mind
What do we need time for
When we’ve got the world
You know the clock stops
When we’re feeling this free
We’ll chill the day away you and me.
Am7 Dm7 G7 C7
         We’ll take it easy
We’ve got to hit the park
Before it gets dark
Because the best things happen at Grapevine Springs
You’ve got the bongos
I’ve got the guitars
We’ll get some reggae for the way
And we’ll jump in the car
We’ll set our worries freeAm7  
  E7As the sun sets and the
evening Am7breeze sets in
  E7There’s nothing troubling our miF7nds
As we roll with tF#7he tiG7mes
We’ll take it easy

Am7

Why don’t we dance just a little

Dm7

Dance with me

We’ll put our politics aside

And set our worries free

Am7

Baby, the day’s moving slowly

Dm7

And so are we

Let’s just float here for a while

We’ll lose track of time

But why should we mind

What do we need time for

When we’ve got the world

You know the clock stops

When we’re feeling this free

We’ll chill the day away you and me.

Am7 Dm7 G7 C7

We’ll take it easy

We’ve got to hit the park

Before it gets dark

Because the best things happen at Grapevine Springs

You’ve got the bongos

I’ve got the guitars

We’ll get some reggae for the way

And we’ll jump in the car

Am7

We’ll set our worries free

As the sun sets and the

Am7

evening breeze sets in

E7 F7

There’s nothing troubling our minds

F#7 G7

As we roll with the times

We’ll take it easy
