Across the alley from the Al - a - mo  
C?    G   G/F# Em   C?  Am7  D9   G 
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo 
     D     Am7     D9       C?  D   Am7   D7  
Who sang a sort of In - di - an  "Hi - de - ho"

To the peo - ple pas - sin' by.

The pinto spent his time a - swish - in' flies 
C?    G        G/F# Em    C? Am7  D9   G 
And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies 
    D     Am7   D9       C?  D   Am7   D7 
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes  
       C     C/B C?  D7   G 
On the peo - ple pas - sin' by. 
 
Bridge 1:

A - long the rail - road track;

They were swish - in' not a - look - in' --  
     Bm7(b5)          A7    C?  D7 
Toot! Toot! -- they never came back.

They thought that they would make some ea - sy bucks 
C?  G       G/F#       Em      C? Am7  D9  G 
By   washin' their fri - jo - les in  Duz and Lux,

A pair of very con - sci - en - tious clucks

Bridge 2:

Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion,  
Em6    C    C/B  Am7   Am7/G   G    Am7   G 
Their shoes were pol - ished bright; 
G/F#      Em     B+       Em7      Em6 
No, they never heard the whistle | -- 
      Bm7(b5)          C?         D7 
Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight 
      G         D            Am7  D9  G 
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo, 
C?      G   G/F# Em   C? Am7   D9   G 
When the starlight beams its ten - der glow, 
     D    Am7    D9       C?        D   Am7  D7 
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough

For the peo - ple pass - in' by.
