C# B (x2)
C# B C# BBack in sixty-eight in a sweaty club (oh Geno)
C# B C# BBefore Jimmy's machine and the rocksteady rub (oh Geno)
B F#mOn a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes
B F#mAfter a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school
B F#mThe lowest head in the crowd that night
B F#mJust practicin' steps and keepin' out of the fights
A E B F# Academic inspiration you gave me none
A E B F# You were Michael the lover the fighter that won
A E B F# And now just look at me as I'm a-looking down on you
A E B F# No I'm not being flash it's what I'm built to do
C#
C# B (x2)
C# B C# BThat man took the stage his towel swinging high (oh Geno)
C# B C# BThis man was my bombers, my dexys, my highs (oh Geno)
B F#mAnd the crowd they all hailed you and chanted your name
B F#mBut they never knew like we knew me and you we're the same
B F#mAnd now your all over your song is so tame
B F#mBrrrr you fed me your bread and I'll remember your name
A E B F# Academic inspiration you gave me none
A E B F# You were Michael the lover the fighter that won
A E B F# And now just look at me as I'm a-looking down on you
A E B F# No I'm not being flash it's what I'm built to do
A B F# E (x2) A B C#
C# B Oh Geno
C# B Oh Geno
