[F] [Dm] [G]
[C] [F] [G] [C]
[F] I got to Kansas City [Gm] on a Friday, [Cm] by Saturday I learned a [F] thing or two.
Cause up to then I didn't [Gm] have an idea of what the modern [F] world was coming to.
[Em] I counted [F] twenty gas [G] buggies going [Am] by their [F] cells, [B] almost every time I [C] took a [Am] walk.
[Em] Then I put [F] my ear [G] to a bell [Am] telephone and [G] a strange woman started [C] in to talk.
What next?
[G] Now what?
[C] What next?
[F] Everything's [C] up to date in Kansas [F] City.
[Cm] [C]
[Fm] They've gone [A] about as far as [Gm] they can [D] go.
[G] They went and [C] built a [F] skyscraper [A] seven [Dm] stories high, [C] about as [G] high as a building [C] ought to [F] grow.
[C]
Everything's like a dream in Kansas [F] City.
[Eb] [C]
It's better [Dbm] than a magic [A] lantern [D] show.
[Bb] You can [F] turn the [Ab] radiator [C] [F] on whenever you want some heat.
[G] With every [Ab] kind of [C] comfort [F] every house is all complete.
[Bb] You can [A] walk the [Dm] privies [Bbm] in the [C] rain and [Bb] never [Am] wet your [D] feet.
[Gm] They've gone [A] about as far as [D] they can go.
Yes sir, [Gm] they've gone [C] about as far as [F] they can go.
[G] [C]
Everything's up to date in [F] Kansas City.
[Eb] [C]
They've gone about [Dbm] as far as they [D] can go.
[C] They got a big theater they [A] call a [Dm] Burley Q.
[C] For fifty [G] cents you can see a dandy [Bb] show.
[C]
One of the gals is fat and pink and [Fm] [Cm] pretty.
[C] As round [Dbm] above as she was [D] round below.
[G] I could swear that she [Am] was padded from her shoulder to [Dm] her heel.
[Db] And then [G] she [A] started [F] dancing and her [Em] dancing made [Dm] me feel.
That every single thing [Bbm] she had [C] was [Am] absolutely [D] real.
[Gm] She went about [A] as far as she [D] could go.
Yes sir, he [Gm] went about as far [F] as she could go.
[G] [F] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] [Gb] [Ab]
[C] [F] [Bb]
[Ab] [C] [Fm] [Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [C] [Fm] [C] [Ab]
