[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.
