[Verse 1]
CG
Sticks and Stones will Break my Bones,
CG
But I always will be true,
CGEm
And when your mama is dead and gone,
AmD7sus4D7C/D
I'll Sing this Lullaby just for you,
CG
And what becomes of all the little boys,
CG
Who never comb their hair
CAGEm
Well they line up all around the block
Am7D7G
On the Nickel over there.
[Verse 2]
CG
So you better bring a bucket,
CG
There is a hole in the pail,
CGEm
And if you don't get my letter,
AmD7sus4D7C/D
Then you'll know that I'm in jail
CG
And what becomes of all the little boys,
CG
Who never say their prayers,
CAGEm
Well they're sleepin' like a baby,
Am7D7G
On the Nickel over there.

[Verse]
DA
And if you chew tobacco,
DA
And wish upon a star,
DAF#m
Well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
BmE7
Just like puchlines between the cars,
DA
And I know a place where a royal flush,
DA
Can never beat a pair,
DBAF#m
And even Thomas Jefferson,
BmE7A
Is on the Nickel over There.
[Verse]
DA
So ring around the rosie,
DA
You're sleepin in the rain,
DAF#m
And you're always late for supper,
BE7
And man you let me down, let me down again,
DA
I thought I heard a mocking bird,
DA
Roosevelt knows where,
DBAF#m
You can skip the light with Grady Tuck,
BmEA
They're on the Nickel over There.

EB
So what becomes of all the little boys,
EB
That run away from home,
EBG#m
Well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
C#mF#7
Once you get out on your own,
EB
So here's to all the little boys,
EB
The sandman takes you where,
EC#BG#m
You're sleepin' with the pillow of man,
C#mF#7B
On the Nickel over There.
Esus2EB
So climb up thru that buttonhole,
Esus2EB
And fall right up the stairs,
EC#7BG#m
I'll show you where the short dogs grow,
C#mF#7Esus2E
On the Nickel...over There.
