I got to [Gm] Kansas City on a Friday.
By Saturday, [F] I learned a thing or two.
Up to then, I didn't [Gm] have an ID
of what the modern [F] world was coming to.
I [F] counted 20 [G] gas buggies going by their [B] cells
almost every time I [C] took a walk.
[F] I put my [G] ear to a [Am] bell telephone
[C] strange woman started in to talk to you. What next?

I got to [Gm] Kansas City on a Friday. _
By Saturday, [F] I learned a thing or two. _
Up to then, I didn't [Gm] have an ID
_ [Cm]
of what the modern [F] world was coming to.
_ _ [Em]
I [F] counted 20 [G] gas buggies going by their [B] cells
almost every time I [C] took a walk.
_ Then [F] I put my [G] ear to a [Am] bell telephone
[G] and a [C] strange woman started in to talk to you. What next?
What next?
_ _ [F] _
[C] Everything's up to date in Kansas City.
_ They've gone about as [D] far as they can go.
_ They went and built a skyscraper [Dm] seven stories high,
[C] about as high as a building ought to grow.
_ _ Everything's like a dream in Kansas City.
_ It's [A] better than a magic lantern [D] show.
[B] You can turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat.
With every [F] kind of comfort, every [A] house is [Dm] all complete.
You can walk the privies in [C] the rain and never [Am] wet your feet.
[Gm] They've gone [A] about as far [D] as they can go.
Yes, sir.
[Gm] They've gone [C] about as far as [F] they can go.
[Db] _ [C] _ Everything's up to date in Kansas City.
_ They've gone [A] about as far as [D] they can go.
_ They got a [C] big theater they call [Dm] a Burley Hew.
[Em] For 50 cents you could see a [Bb] dandy show.
Yeah?
[C] _ One of the gals is fat and pink and pretty.
Uh-huh.
Around [A] above her, she [E] was round below.
_ [G]
I could swear that [C] she was padded from her [Dm] shoulder to her [G] heel.
And [C] then she started dancing and her dancing [Dm] made me feel
[Bb]
that every [Dm] single thing she had was [Gm] absolutely real.
She went [A] about as far as she [D] could go.
Yes, [Gm] sir.
She went [C] about as far as she [G] could go.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ What you doing, Will?
Well, this is [C] called a two-step.
[G] That's all the dancing nowadays.
[Bb] The waltz is through.
[Eb]
Of course, they don't do it [Fm] alone.
Come on, Aunt [Bb] Ella.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[F] _ _ Oh, that's [C] about as far as [F] I can go.
Yes, sir.
[Bbm] That's about as far [Db] as she could go.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] What you doing now, Will?
[Bb] Well, this here's called ragtime.
I see a couple of actors doing [A] it. _ _
_ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ Don't like [Ab] it?
Oh, Will, [Bb] I do.
