[F#]
[N] Do you know how William Boyd died?
Well, my next guest is a composer and performer who has been with us many times before, or at least two.
It's always a pleasure to have him back.
He is a man who probably never again will have to pay a parking ticket in Los Angeles.
Please say hello to Randy Newman.
[D] [G] Okay.
[D] The night [F#m] was clear, [Bm] and the [F#] moon was yellow, [G] and the leaves [Em] came tumbling [A] down.
I [D] was standing on the corner when [G] I heard my bulldog bark.
[D] He was barking at two men [A] who were gambling.
[D] In the dark, [A] [D] there was Snaggle Eats and Penny, [G] two men who gambled late.
[D] Snaggle Eats threw himself in [A] this water, [D] he knew it.
[A] [D]
Snaggle Eats told Penny, he [G] said, I can't let you go with that.
He [D]
took all my money, [A] my brandy, [D] steps in there.
[A] [D]
Snaggle Eats went home, [G] and he got his money back.
[D] He said, I'm going to the bar [A] room to pay that.
He [D] had an hour.
[A] [D]
[G]
[D]
[A] [D]
[A] He [D] went to the bar room, [G] and he stood across that bar room door.
[D] He said, nobody move, [A] and he pulled him.
He [D] pulled him out.
[A] [D]
Now, Penny, he cried, he [Gm] said, please don't take my life.
[G] [D]
Three little children in [A] there, sitting [D]
away.
[A] [D] Snaggle Eats shot Penny, before [G] he shot that poor boy, so Penny,
[D] that before I went to bed, [A] my dear, [D] this lad,

You do?
Well, I wish I had yours.
You wish you had this jacket?
Yeah, I know.
Who do you like in the series?
Uh, Toronto.
No, really?
I like them, I'm rooting for them, because they're not Americans.
Are you writing a movie?
Writing a movie, not scoring?
Yeah, and some songs, too.
What is the film?
It's called Three Amigos, with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase and Martin Short.
Pretty good cast.
Yeah, they play Marxist revolutionaries who try and start communism in Mexico,
and Mexico falls to communism, and then [G] Central America and South America,
and the sequel will be when they try it in the United States.
Oh, good.
[E] We'll look for that.
