Newsies (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 3. Carrying the Banner Chords

[Bb] Hey, that's my [D] cigar!
You'll steal a nada!
Hey look, [Bb] it's bath [G] time at the [D] zoo!
_ I thought [F] that [D] I'd surprise [G] my mother.
If you [D] can find her_
Who asked _ [Dm] you?! _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ From Bottle Alley to [D] the Harbor, _
There's easy pickings guaranteed. _ _
[F] Try any bank [D] of bum [G] or barber, _
They [A] almost all knows how [D] to read. _ _
[G] It's a crooked game we're [D] playing,
[G] One we'll never _ _ lose.
[Bb] Long as suckers don't [C] mind [Bb] paying,
Just to get [A] bad _ _ _ news.
_ [D] Ain't it a fine life,
[G] _ Carrying the banner [D] through it _ [G] all?
_ _ [D] A mighty fine life,
[G] _ Carrying the banner [D] toughens [Gbm] all.
_ _ [Bm] _ [Em] When the [D] bell rings,
We [A] go tell [B] you wishes,
Jesus free his fishes,
Sure be quashing dishes.
[Em] What a [D] [G] fine [Ab] life,
[D] _ Carrying the banner home free all. _
_ Hey Crutchie, [B] what'd your leg say?
[Dm] Gonna rain?
[F] Uh, no rain.
[E] Oh, only cloudy, clear by evening.
Ha, and the Limp [G] sells 50 papes a week all by itself.
I don't need the Limp to sell papes.
[A] I got portionality.
It [G] takes a smile that spreads [D] like butter,
The kind with [G] pines a [A]
[D] lady's skin.
It [Ab] takes [Bm] an [Gb] orphan with [G] a stutter,
[Eb] Both are [G] blind and mute [D] and dead.
_ [G] Summer stinks and winter's [D] freezing,
[G] When you work's outdoors.
_ _ [Bb] Start out sweating, end [C] up [Bb] sneezing,
In bed's we [D] need more.
_ [A] _ _ _
[D] Still it's a fine life,
_ Carrying the banner,
It's a fine life,
[G] _ [D] Carrying the banner,
What's your face,
_ [G] _ Tossin' out a freebie,
[Gbm] What's your face,
_ [Bm] _ Tossin' out a [G] freebie,
Hold up,
_ Makes [A] me antsy,
I like to hold them fancy.
All [B] up to the lance,
[G] What a fine [Ab] life,
[D] _ Carrying the banner through the _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] Massachusetts. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ All [D] you want _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ can be great, _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ Jesus,
You, _ _ _
_ [A] Who shall _ _ _
[D] we say, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Curdle, _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ Jump in the wake [G] of,
_ _ Concrete door,
I [D] got a [Db] vine in my heart,
Wrangled [Bm] with more,
It's getting bad [G] out there,
Painless is all I got,
In Jake's [Em] face,
In Jake's face,
It's changed my spot,
Shots of [G] ketchup,
Jaws of chips,
It's worth [A] a shot,
All I can ask [D] is,
If I hate the headline,
I'll make up a headline,
[Bb] And I'll say anything I have to,
[D] Does it do for a penny,
If I take too many,
[Bb] Weasel just makes me eat a map to,
[Em] Got a feeling about the headline,
I smell the headline,
[C] Trades up on a sell,
If he was givin' [D] I'ma wear [Em] a swig,
That's just been a reason,
Though he got a pistol back,
I'm going [C] mental,
Gotta make a news [B] each day,
You [A] wanna moon run,
[E] Next edition,
[Abm] Give [C] us a [E] earthquake or a war,
How [G] about a [E] cooking _ _ [A] politician,
Can't get [C] with [B] that egg [E] nose no _ _ more,
[A] I'll [B] count [A] Newgrounds Central [B] Station,
[A]
Down the city _ _ [B] hall,
[C] _
_ Reimproves our _ _ [G] circulation,
[C]
Walkin' till [E] we fall, _ _ _
_ _ _ Talking about the headline,
We get the headline,
_ _ _ _ Giving all away,
So _ _ _ _ _ you [Abm] don't know any better,
Way to make a [Dbm] news each day,
[E] I was making out my case,
And now I'm [Abm] always on the case,
We all look back,
I guess [Db] it was all but nothing,
This is [Gbm] what we fight with,
I gotta give up on it,
[E] We are still a band,
Like [Db] we'll get _ _
_ [E] _ _ it a million,
[B] _
We're _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Db] _ [Gbm] _ _
[F] always out,
_ [Bb] _ [Cm] Carrying the [F] momentum _ [Am] _ [Bb] man,
_ We're [F] always out there,
[C] So get every sucker [Am] that we _ _ [Dm] can,
_ If the [C] _ headline,
_ Newsy got a [Am] mission,
Kill the competition,
[G] Sell the next edition,
[Bb] We'll be out there,
[Fm] _ Carrying the banner,
[Bb] See us out there,
[C] Carrying the [Bb] banner, _
