Dm                                    Am
In the middle of the night it came to me
F                   C

Little sister let's go downtown

And dance to the night sounds
Am                              F
Hear the bass wafting down the hill
C
From Echo Park, my Jamaica in L.A.

It's in the shadows, in the sweet scent breeze
F                               C
In the riding out of a death disease
Am                               F
The prettiness shining into complete

In the bitterness burning up in the heat

Dm                           Am
I was drowning in champagne eyes
F                        C
Skipping along in compromise
Am                              F
When dignity rattled me on the back
C
And my rebel mind needed to attack

My sweetness you were with me when
