Out for us.

Gershwin floats out of our radio

I swear there will be

If at the end of the line there ain't no pot of gold,
        Dm                E
Just the Santa Monica pier,
                   Am
Well, we loved our biscuits and gravy
          E
And we learned to twirl a rope
         Dm
And we enjoyed what we had
E                Am
While we were here.
