Verse 1
Have you ever seen Duluth (D major)
(A major) (G major)

And the polkas at the (D major) Polish
dance hall (A major) (G major)
And the carnivals of (D major) spring (A major)
(G major) And the rock and roll on
that up (B minor) right piano
Didn't the kid make the high
(A major) school rafters ring?
