Band The Rags And Bones Lyrics

Rags And Bones Lyrics

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
