It is always a joy to cowrite with Jane Eggers. I think we did one my first or second FAWM, then almost every year since.

Let Down Your Hair
Lyrics Jane Eggers, Feb 2020
Music Sean McGaughey
6/8


VERSE:
G x 2
Draw the curtain
Em X2
Fix your mask
C x2
Straighten your story
D Dsus-D
In case they ask

VERSE:
Gx2
It’s all theatre
Em x2
They want a show
Cx2
Let down your hair
D Dsus-D
And off you go

CHORUS:
Em
Star goes shooting
G
Across the sky
Em
Find your power
D Dsus-D
Let it magnify
G
Clock ticks
Em
Comet flares
C
Time to see the world
D Dsus D
And let down your hair.

VERSE:
Been learning from books
In that ivory tower
Now it’s time to shine
Find your superpower.

VERSE:
May feel alien
But this is your day
So let down your hair
And get on your way.

CHORUS:
