the band - 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
