_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] This is a cover of a Tom Waits song.
_ [G] _ _ It's about a place in Los [C] Angeles where all the winos and the hobos
congregate _
_ _ Apparently they call this place, they call it
[C] Being on the nickel and [G] _ Tom referred to this [C] song
as a wino's lullaby
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Sticks [G] and stones will break my bones
_ _ [C] _
_ But our [G] wills will be true _ _ _
_ _ When your mama's
[Em] Dead and gone, [Am] _
I'll sing a lullaby
Just for you _ _
_ [C] _ And what becomes of all the [G] little boy? _ _
_ [C] _ _ Never say that [G] prayer _
_ _ _ They're sleeping like a baby
[Em] _ _
[Am] On the nickel
[D] Oh [G] Oh _ _
_ [C] _ _ If you chew [G] tobacco and _ _ _ _ [G] wish upon a star _
_ [C] _ _ _ We'll find [G] out where the scarecrow [Em] was shed
[A] And man, they look like punchlines
[Am] _ [D] Between the cars
And _ [C] _ _ a [G] place where royal flush
_ [C] _ _ And never beat [G] a pen
_ _ [C] _ _ and [G] even Thomas
Jefferson
[Em] _ [Am] He's on the nickel [D] that's [G] over there
_ _ [C] _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ Soaring [G] around the Rosie
_ _ [C] _ _ You [G] sleeping in the rain
_ _ [C] _ _ And you're always late for [G] supper Oh
[Am] Hey, man, you let me down let me [D] down again _
_ _ [C] _ _ I [G] thought I heard a mockingbird
_ [C] _ _ Rose [Em] felt no [G] sway
_ _ [C] _ _ It's [G] wisdom by the
Graveyard [Am] on the nickel [A] that's [G] over there
_ _ [C] _ _ So what [G] becomes of all the little boy _ [C] _ _ _ [G] run away from home
_ _ [C] _ _ Well, the [G] world just keeps getting bigger
[Em] _ [Am] When you get out there and get out there [D] on your own _
_ _ [C] _ _ So he's to [G] all those little boy
_ _ [C] _ He the Sandman [G] takes you
Well
_ [C] _ _ The sleeper [G] will pillow
[Em] _
On [Am] the nickel that's over [G] there _
_ [C] _ _ _ So let's climb up [G] through that bottom
And _ [C] _ _ we fall right [G] up the stair
_ [C] _ _ _ I'll show you where [G] the short dogs
[Em] grow
[Am] on the nickel That's all
