On the Nickel

Capo on 4th Fret. Verse 1: G D Sticks and stones will break my bones, G D But I always will be true, G D /c# Bm When your mama is dead and gone, Em A7suA7 I'll sing this lullaby just for you, G D So what becomes of little boys, G D Who never say their prayers, G D Bm Well they're sleepin' like a baby, Em7 A7 D On the Nickel over there. G D And if you chew tobacco, G D And wish upon the star, G D /c# Bm Well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit, Em A7suA7 Man they look like punchlines between the cars, G D And I know a place where a royal flush, G D Can never beat a pair, G D Bm And even Thomas Jefferson, Em A7 D Is on the nickel over There. G D So ring around the rosie, G D You're sleepin in the rain, G D Bm And you're always late for supper, Em A7 And man you let me down again, G D I thought I heard a mocking bird, G D Roosevelt knows where, G D Bm They're whisteling past the grave yard Em A D And they're on the nickel over there. G D So what becomes of little boys, G D That run away from home, G D Bm Well the world keeps gettin' bigger, Em A7sus4A7 Once you get out on your own, G D So climb up thru that buttonhole, G D And fall right up the stairs, G D Bm I'll show you where the short dogs go, Em A7sus4 A7 D On the nickel...over there.
