Verse 1
Walked in nervous, boots brand new
Never danced a step, that's the truth
Found a spot in the second row
Hopin' they'd keep the lights down low
Teacher counted a five, six, seven, eight
I went left when the whole line went right
She just laughed, said "you're doin' fine
Honey, everybody starts a step behind"
Pre-Chorus
'Cause the only wrong move is standin' still
If you can walk, buddy, you will
Count to eight and let it roll
Two left boots still got soul
Chorus
Grapevine right, now grapevine home
Heel, toe, you ain't alone
Step and sway, nice and slow
Hey, look at you go
Ain't no wrong way on this floor
Every pro was new before
Quarter turn, stomp — there's your proof
You can dance in two left boots
Verse 2
There's a first-date couple laughin' loud
Missin' every step, drawin' a crowd
A big ol' cowboy, shy and tall
Findin' his feet against the wall
There's a birthday queen in a paper crown
Draggin' all her girls around
And me, I'm still half a beat behind
But not a soul in here seems to mind
Pre-Chorus
'Cause the only wrong move is standin' still
If you can walk, buddy, you will
Count to eight and let it roll
Two left boots still got soul
Chorus
Grapevine right, now grapevine home
Heel, toe, you ain't alone
Step and sway, nice and slow
Hey, look at you go
Ain't no wrong way on this floor
Every pro was new before
Quarter turn, stomp — there's your proof
You can dance in two left boots
Bridge
One more move 'fore the lesson's done
This right here's my favorite one
Lift that boot up, let it hang
Bring it down with a great big bang
Five, six, seven, eight
Stomp it once, don't hesitate
Stomp it twice and shake the ground
You came in quiet, you're leavin' loud
Final Chorus
Grapevine right, now grapevine home
Heel, toe, you ain't alone
Step and sway, nice and slow
Hey, look at you go
Ain't no wrong way on this floor
Every pro was new before
Quarter turn, stomp — there's your proof
You can dance in two left boots
Outro
Heel, toe, there you go
Grapevine, take it home
Two left boots, look at you now
You know how to stomp — so stomp!

Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
