But pos[C]sessed no magic skill
De[G]scending from mac[Em]hinery,[A7]
He left [D]nothing in his will,
The [G]crops are failing, the [F]women wailin',
It's in th[C]e pap[Cmaj7/E]ers at your [Am]feet
Six [G]months in Kansas [D]City,
Down on [C]Liberty Stre[G]et
It was [G]sad to see it[Em],
that little [C]lady goin' in
Arr[G]ested for [Em]arso[A7]n
once they [D]asked where she'd been
[G]Down on her knees, not [F]even a breeze,
Another [C]victi[Cmaj7/E]m of the he[Am]at
Six [G]months in Kansas [D]City,
Down on [C]Liberty Stree[G]t
Solo
Things [G]sure don't look too p[Em]retty!
Cause a [C]man to rob and steal,
I got a [G]full six more [Em]months o[A7]ut here
Can't b[D]e begging for my meals
Now, look [G]here, Baby Snooks, don'[F]t matter what books
you keep [C]undern[Cmaj7/E]eath your s[Am]eat
