(Transcribed by Beach Bum)
NOTE: This song is played in the style of Carolina Beach music. There is a
certain rhythmy soulish mojo in this song. The chords are played with a constant
finger modulation that goes in unison with the strumming. On the verse, the C
Maj chord should be worked in a constant modulation with a C Alt; likewise, the F
Maj works in a constant modulation with an Fmaj7. The feel is like a very rhythmic polka style.

I just met a woman who turned me upside down.

The rivers turn in their beds.

Flowers bloom where she treads

She turns an awful lot of heads when she comes to town.

Miss Grace when you walk by

There's no need to wonder why I've fallen for you.
