Banjo/Accordion intro

Dm (xx0231@1)                            BbOne (x1333x@1)moonlight night in the bayou a silhouette
    F (133211@1)                     CThe (x32010@1)air was sweet and the fog was vi-o-let
    Dm (xx0231@1)                                    BbThe (x1333x@1)gators were all drinking tea, in a dreamy pantsless glee
    F (133211@1)                         CI (x32010@1)saw a suspendered man, a banjo holstered in his hands.
    Dm (xx0231@1)                                               Bb (x1333x@1)             
He had biggest red suspenders I ever did see, golly gee that's what I've seen
    F (133211@1)                                         CHe (x32010@1)flicked the brim of his hat, and this is what he said to me.

Dm (xx0231@1)                                     Gm (355333@1)So I flicked my coin into his pot, I gotta admit it twasn't a lot
                  Dm (xx0231@1)             
Two cents and then his fingers wriggled,
                  Che (x32010@1)plucked those strings and belched a giggle.
                  DmHe (xx0231@1)tapped his foot, howled like a hound
     Gm (355333@1)                DmIgniting (xx0231@1)up the unholy sound.

DmAnd (xx0231@1)I ain't never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
                         Am7never, (x02010@1)never, never, never, never, never, never, never,

DmCall (xx0231@1)the vendors.
     BbBig (x1333x@1)Suspenders.

     DmThey (xx0231@1)stretch to Nantucket.
     BbPut (x1333x@1)them in a bucket
     F (133211@1)                      C (x32010@1)            DmAnd (xx0231@1)send them to the gnome trapped down the well

He played the two cent show

DmAnd (xx0231@1)just like that he stopped playing
            BbMy (x1333x@1)jaw dropped to the floor.
            FHe (133211@1)cracked his neck and smiled at me, And said,
            C (x32010@1)              
"Buddy, y'gotta pay for more!"

DmBut (xx0231@1)by then a crowd had swarmed the swamp,
            Bbtossin' (x1333x@1)coin in after coin.
            Dm (xx0231@1)                        DmSo (xx0231@1)he cleared his throat, and his fingers writhed,
            Bb (x1333x@1)                       Dmand (xx0231@1)everyone shouted for Suspender Guy.

       BbEven (x1333x@1)worn by opossums
