**************************************************


Gm              Fsus4add9-(/D)
 Davenports and kettle drums
Gm                Fsus4add9-
 and swallow tail coats
Gm        F6add9  A9-/5-               Daug D7/5+ 
 table cloths and patent leather shoes
Gm                 Fsus4add9-(/A#)
 bathing suits and bowling balls
Gm                 Am6/5+
 and clarinets and rings
Bb               Cm                   Ab   D D7
 and all this radio really needs is a fuse

Cm           F
 A tinker, A tailor
Bb7          Gm
 a soldier's things
Cm              F             Bb7   Daug D7/5+
 his rifle, his boots full of rocks
    Gm               Fsus4add9-
 and this one is for bravery
    Gm               A9-/5-
 and this one is for me
Daug     D7/5+     D       D7
 and everything's a dollar
Gm       Fsus4add9-(/A#)
 in this box

Gm   Am6/5+
 
 Cuff links and hub caps
 trophies and paperbacks
 it's good transportation
 but the brakes aren't so hot
 neck tie and boxing gloves
 this jackknife is rusted
 you can pound that dent out on the hood

 a tinker, a tailor
 a soldier's things
 his rifle, his boots full of rocks
 oh and this one is for bravery
 and this one is for me
 and everything's a dollar
 in this box
