[Verse 1]
C                      G
Sticks and Stones will Break my Bones,
C                    G
But I always will be true,
C                     G        Em
And when your mama is dead and gone,
               Am               D7sus4 D7 C/D
I'll Sing this Lullaby just for you,
C                           G
And what becomes of all the little boys,
C                    G
Who never comb their hair
C         A            G         Em
Well they line up all around the block
       Am7    D7   G
On the Nickel over there.


[Verse 2]
C                     G
So you better bring a bucket,
C                      G
There is a hole in the pail,
C                       G  Em
And if you don't get my letter,
               Am               D7sus4 D7 C/D
Then you'll know that I'm in jail
C                           G
And what becomes of all the little boys,
C                   G
Who never say their prayers,
C            A             G   Em
Well they're sleepin' like a baby,
       Am7    D7   G
On the Nickel over there.

[Verse]
D              A
And if you chew tobacco,
D              A
And wish upon a star,
D                              A          F#m
Well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
          Bm                    E7
Just like puchlines between the cars,
D                          A
And I know a place where a royal flush,
D                A
Can never beat a pair,
D   B           A     F#m
And even Thomas Jefferson,
          Bm     E7   A
Is on the Nickel over There.

[Verse]
D                  A
So ring around the rosie,
D                     A
You're sleepin in the rain,
D                          A  F#m
And you're always late for supper,
            B                         E7
And man you let me down, let me down again,
D                   A
I thought I heard a mocking bird,
D              A
Roosevelt knows where,
D       B                   A     F#m
You can skip the light with Grady Tuck,
               Bm     E    A
They're on the Nickel over There.

[Verse]
E                         B
So what becomes of all the little boys,
E                  B
That run away from home,
E                         B       G#m
Well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
C#m                      F#7
Once you get out on your own,
E                    B
So here's to all the little boys,
E                    B
The sandman takes you where,
E      C#                B         G#m
You're sleepin' with the pillow of man,
       C#m    F#7  B
On the Nickel over There.

Esus2 E                     B
      So climb up thru that buttonhole,
Esus2 E                    B
      And fall right up the stairs,
E             C#7       B          G#m
I'll show you where the short dogs grow,
       C#m      F#7  Esus2  E
On the Nickel...over There.
