Going against the Grain  (REB 1114)  Tony Simmons

BASIC 2

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK – CLOSER

4 Ladies Promenade inside you go
Back home and
Swing your Man

Join hands, Circle Left and go
Left Allemande and Weave that Ring

* Sometimes you can’t be afraid to wear a different hat
* If Columbus hadn’t ventured out, the world might still be flat

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Sometimes you gotta go against the grain

FIGURE

Head Couples Promenade Halfway

Walk in and Square Thru that way
Go all the way and then a Right & Left Thru

Veer Left and Ferris Wheel you do
Square Thru in the middle and go 3 hands you know

Swing that corner, Promenade

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Sometimes you gotta go against the grain

ALTERNATE LYRICS

* Noah took too much ridicule for building his Ark
After 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart

Strong enough to fight the wind and rain

Sometimes you gotta go against the grain

 

** Sometimes you can’t be afraid to wear a different hat

If the world did not have dreamers

Where would we be at

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Sometimes you gotta go against the grain

TAG

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Sometimes you gotta go against the grain
