Rags And Bones

F#m

Catch a taxi to the fountainhead

C#sus4/g#

Blinking neon penny arcade

A

A young caruso on the fire escape

Bm	     bm/c#     d     d/e

Painted face ladies on parade

F#m

The newsboy on the corner

C#sus4/g#

Singing out headlines

A

And a fiddler selling pencils

Bm	       bm/c#	   d

The sign reads: help the blind





F#m    f#m/e     dmaj7

Comin' up the lane callin'

Bm7	 c#m7	    f#m

Workin' while the rain's fallin'

Dmaj7 c#	 a/e	     d#m7-5

Ragman, your song of the street

Dmaj7	      e7sus4

Keeps haunting my memory

F#m  f#m/e      dmaj7

Music in the air

Bm7    c#m7    f#m

I hear it ev'rywhere

Dmaj7  c#       a/e	 d#m7-5

Rags, bones and old city songs

Dmaj7		  e7sus4   a

Hear them, how they talk to me



Trolley car rings out the morning

Whistle blows at noon

A cat fight breaks open the night

While watch dogs bay at the moon

A preacher on an orange crate

With a salvation army band

And clicking along the cobbled stones

That's the sound of the ice-cream man



Comin' up the lane callin'

Workin' while the rain's fallin'

Ragman, your song of the street

Keeps haunting my memory

Music in the air

I hear it ev'rywhere

Rags, bones and old city songs

Hear them, how they talk to me



The organ grinder and his monkey

Still walkin' the same old beat

The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather

He puts the rhythm in your feet

Strollin' by the churchyard

List'nin' to the sunday choir

With voices rising to the heavens

Like sirens screaming to a fire



Comin' up to the lane callin'

Workin' while the rain's fallin'

Ragman, your song of the street

Keeps haunting my memory

Music in the air

I hear it ev'rywhere

Rags, bones and old city songs

Play them one more time for me
