Chords for Randy Newman - Stagger Lee + interview [1985]

_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ Do you know how William Boyd died?
Well, _ _ _ my next guest is a composer and performer who has been with us many times before, or at least two.
It's always a pleasure to have him back.
He is a man who probably never again will have to pay a parking ticket in Los Angeles.
Please say hello to Randy Newman. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] Okay.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] The night [F#m] was clear, [Bm] and the [F#] moon was yellow, _ [G] and the leaves [Em] came _ tumbling _ [A] down.
I [D] was standing on the corner when [G] I heard my _ bulldog bark.
[D] He was barking at two men [A] who were gambling.
_ [D] In the dark, _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] there was Snaggle Eats and Penny, _ [G] two men who gambled late.
_ [D] Snaggle Eats threw himself in [A] this water, _ [D] he knew it.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
Snaggle Eats told Penny, he [G] said, I can't let you go with that.
He [D]
took all my money, [A] my brandy, [D] steps in there.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
Snaggle Eats went home, _ [G] and he got his money back.
_ [D] He said, I'm going to the bar [A] room to pay that.
He [D] had an hour.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ He [D] went _ _ to the bar room, [G] and he stood across that bar room door.
_ [D] He said, nobody move, [A] and he pulled him.
He [D] pulled him out.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
Now, Penny, he cried, he [Gm] said, please don't take my life.
[G] _ _ [D]
Three little children in [A] there, _ sitting [D] _
away.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] Snaggle _ Eats shot Penny, before [G] he shot that poor boy, so Penny,
_ [D] that before I went to bed, [A] _ my dear, [D] this lad,
_ _ [A] _ Snaggle Eats!
[D]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Em] Okay, thank you very much.
[N] You sound terrific, as always.
I wish I had your voice, as a matter of fact.
You do?
Well, I wish I had yours.
You wish you had this jacket?
Yeah, I know. _ _
Who do you like in the series?
Uh, Toronto.
No, really?
_ _ _ _ _ I like them, I'm rooting for them, because they're not Americans. _ _ _
Are you writing a movie?
Writing a movie, not scoring?
Yeah, and some songs, too.
What is the film?
It's called Three Amigos, with Steve Martin and Chevy Chase and Martin Short.
_ _ Pretty good cast.
Yeah, they play Marxist revolutionaries who try and start communism in Mexico,
and Mexico falls to communism, and then [G] Central America and South America,
and the sequel will be when they try it in the United States.
Oh, good.
[E] We'll look for that.
[Fm] Thank you very much, folks.
Have [B] a good weekend.
Thank you, Randy. _ _ _ _
