[G] [Bm]
[B] [Bm]
See, see, all in the scene Fireman's blind, the conductor's lame
Cincinnati jacket and a sad-lookin' dame Hangin' out the window, a bottle full of rain
[G] Clap hands, [Bm] clap hands,
[G] clap hands, [Bm] clap hands
Say, oh, some bitches never comin' back at all
The moon in the window and the bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire shovel, [G] oh
Clap hands, [B] [Bm] clap hands, [G] clap hands, [Bm] clap hands
[G] Said, steep, [Bm] steep up the [G] bad dreams
Goin' up [Bm] to Harlem with a pistol in [G] his jeans
A fifty-dollar [Bm] bill inside a paladin's [G] hand
And nobody's sure where Mr.
Knickerbocker's at
[Bm] Long haul, the Thunder in the hall
Some bitches never comin' back at all
The moon in the window and the bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire shovel, oh
[G] Clap hands, [Bm] clap hands, [G] clap hands, [Bm] clap hands

A fifty-dollar [Bm] bill inside a [G] paladin's hand
And nobody's sure where Mr.
Knickerbocker's at
[Bm] Shining, shining, Roosevelt died
All the way to Baltimore, running out
Salvation Army seemed to wind up to know
The old winter heaven in the
[G] Clap hands, [Bm]
