from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)

Intro:

Bm,
G7 Bm (x2), Bm

Verse 1:

[Bm] Sane, sane, they're all insane,
Fireman's blind; the conductor is lame.
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame,
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain.

Chorus 1:

Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.

Verse 2:

Said; [Bm]roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more.
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole,
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.

Chorus 2:

Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.

Bridge 1:

Said; [G7]steam, steam; a [Bm]hundred bad dream,
[G7] Going up to Harlem with a [Bm]pistol in his jeans.
A [G7]fifty-dollar bill, iside a [Bm]palladin's hat,
And [G7]nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.

Verse 3:

[Bm] Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more.
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole,
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.

Chorus 3:

Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.

Interlude:

Bm,
G7 Bm (x2), Bm

Bridge 2:

Said; [G7]steam, steam; a [Bm]hundred bad dream,
[G7] Going up to Harlem with a [Bm]pistol in his jeans.
A [G7]fifty-dollar bill, iside a [Bm]palladin's hat,
And [G7]nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.

Verse 4:

[Bm] Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime,
All the way to Baltimore and running out of time.
Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole,
They all went to Heaven in a little row boat.

Chorus 4:

Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
Clap [G7]hands, clap [Bm]hands.
