_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ Sticks and stones [Gb] will break my bones
_ _ _ _ [B] Always _ _ _ _ _ will [Gb] be true
_ _ When _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ your _ [Gb] mama's dead and gone
_ [Abm] I'll sing this lullaby _ _ just [Gb] for _ [Db] _ you _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ What becomes [Gb] for the little boys _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ Never _ [Gb] comb their hair _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _
Lying up [Gb] all around _
[Ebm] on _ _ the nickel _
[Abm] _ [Gb] _ Oh, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ you better _ [Gb] bring a bucket
_ There's _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ a hole [Gb] in the pail
_ If _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ you don't get [Gb] my _ _ [Ebm] lil' _ _
Then [Abm] you'll know _ that _ I'm [Db] in jail
_ _ What [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
becomes for [Gb] the little boys _
They _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
never say [Gb] their prayers _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
Sleepin' [Gb] like a _ baby
[Ebm] _ _ On the nickel _ [Abm] _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] _ over [Gb] _ there
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ If you chew [Ab] _
tobacco
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ Wish [Ab] upon a star
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
Find _ _ out where [Ab] the _ _
_ [Fm] _ scarecrow's set
[Bbm] Just like _ _ punchlines [Eb] between the [Db] _ _
[Eb] _ _ cars
_ [Db] _ _
I know a place [Ab] where a royal flush
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ Never [Ab] beat a _ _ pair
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Bb] Even _ [Ab] Thomas _ _
[Fm] _ Jefferson
_ [F] Is on the nickel _ [Eb] _ _ over [Ab] _ _ _
there
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ Ring [Ab] around _ the _ _ rosy
[Db] _ _ _
_ _ Sleepin' in [Ab] the _ _ _ _ rain
[Db] _ _ _
_ Always _ [Ab] late for _
_ _ [Fm] supper
_ [Bbm] Mother let me down
_ Let me [Eb] down _ again
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
That's what I heard
[Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ Roosevelt _ [Ab] knows _ well
You _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Bb] can skip the line with [Ab] _
_ greed
[Fm] And tug _ [Bbm] on the nickel
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
What _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ becomes for [Bb] the little _ boys
_ [Eb] _ _
_ Run _ away [Bb] from _ _ home
_ [Eb] _ _ _
The world just [Bb] keeps getting _ [Gm] bigger
_ _ [Cm] Once you get out _ _ _ [F] on your _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
own
_ Here's to all [Bb] the little _ boys
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ That man [Bb] takes you _ well
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ Sleepin' [Bb] with a pillow [Gm] _ man
On the nickel [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ over [Bb] _ _ _ there
_ Up _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
through that [Bb] button _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ Right up [Bb] the stairs
_ I'll _ _ _ [Eb] show _ [C] you where _ [Bb] the _ short [Gm] dogs grow
_ On _ _ _ the nickel _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[F] over _ _ _ [Bb] there
[Dm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
