_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Bb] I'm talking to the [F] sun, _ [B] I keep [Eb] hearing bells all around me, [Gb] _ [Bb] jingle in the lucky _ jackpot,
[G] they keep [F] me fanatized, [Eb] they keep me reaching for your wallet [Bb] here in fools paradise.
I talked to a cat from Des Moines, [D] _ _
[F] _ [Gb] he said he [Bb] ran a [Am] cleaning, _ _ _ that [Eb] cat was clanking with
coin, [Bb] well he must have had a genie in her lap, cause [E] every time I dropped a [F] dime I blew
it, [Eb] he kept ringing [Dm] bells, nothing to [G] it.
_ [E] He got [Bb] three oranges, [E] three lemons, three
cherries, three plums, [Gm] I knew that I'd taste the fruit, [E] watching [Eb] the dry [A] cleaner do [Bb] it,
[Eb] like Midas in a [G] polyester suit, _ it's all luck, it's just luck, you [Bb] get [D] a little lucky and
you [G] make a little money.

[Eb] the strip, [F] _ _ [Eb] he'd go to the [D] booth, a circus circus, where the
[G] cowgirls filled the room with their [Bb] big balloons, the cleaner was pitching with [F] her face, [Ab] [D] he
had dinos and fool bears and [F] lions, pink [D] and blue, there he [C] couldn't [Gm] lose _ [F] them.

_ _ _ [G] snaking in [Eb] sheets, raking up [A] the tables, [G] ringing [Bb] the bandit's bells,
[Eb] this is a story that the bag did tell, [Bb] in some ways it's my loss, every [Eb] dime I laid [F] on the

Wendy's, [D] police, yeah.
