            D/A             G       DMaj7/F#
When Jack Frost came for christmas
                     Gsus2
With a brass monkey date 
     D/F#               Bm
The rail-king and the scarecrow
           G              Em7
Hopped a Florida freight 

           D/A          G          DMaj7/F#
And they blew on their paper cups 
                         Gsus2
And stared through the steam 
            D/F#        Bm
Then they drank half a bottle
    G                 Em
Of Ragpicker's Dream 


            G6           Gm6
Where the whiskey keeps following 
      A   D/A     F#m   Bm
Cold pitchers of beer 
             D/A
Me and my associate 
           Gsus2    Asus4
Like the clientele here 


        D/F#             G      DMaj7/F#
Get the onions and the 'taters 
                  Gsus2  D/F#
Rib-eyes on the grill
                Bm
Toothpicks and luckies 
       G             Em7
And a coffee refill 


| D/A | G | DMaj7/F# | Gsus2 |
| D/F# | Bm | G | A |


        D/F#          G       DMaj7/F#
As the rail-king lay rocking 
                     Gsus2
He was leaving the ground 
              D/F#       Bm          G
Then he was flying like Santa Claus 
          Em7
Over the town 

          D/F#        G      DMaj7/F#
Where he came to the window 
                   Gsus2  D/F#
Of a house by a stream 
                   Bm
It was a family christmas 
        G            Em7  (Em7)     
In the Ragpicker's Dream 

            D/F#        G     DMaj7/F#
There were kids at the table 
                  Gsus2  D/F#
All aglow in the light 
              Bm
Music in the wintertime 
      G          Em
Sure carries at night 
           D/F#        G    DMaj7/F#
There was turkey and gravy 
              Abm7b5  (Abm7b5)
Pie and ice-cream 
     D/A               Bm
And gifts for each and everyone 
        G            Em
In the Ragpicker's Dream 

           G6            Gm6
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling 
         A  D/A    F#m   Bm
In our glasses of beer 
             D/A
Me and my associate 
          G          Asus4
Like the service in here

            D/F#          G      DMaj7/F#
There's  a ten for your trouble 
                    Gsus2
You have beautiful hair 
          D/F#         Bm
Make the last one two doubles 
        G             Em7  (Em7)
It's a cold one out there 

            D/F#             G         DMaj7/F#
Where the scarecrow and the rail-king 
                 Gsus2
Have started to dance 
       D/F#             Bm
But a nightstick and a billyclub 
       G             Em7
Won't give peace a chance
         D/F#            G        D/F#
Here I think they went thataways 
                     Abm7b5  (Abm7b5)
Your song and dance team 
         D/A          Bm
Heading home for the holidays 
          G            Em7  (Em7)
With the Ragpicker's Dream 

         D/A         G       DMaj7/F#
On his knees like a fighter 
                 Gsus2  D/F#
The rail-riding king 
                  Bm
Like a sack of potatoes 
        G           Em7
Like a bull in the ring 
            D/F#          G     D/F#
Where the scarecrow falls over 
                    D7/Ab  (D7/Ab)  Gm6  (Gm6)
With a tear in the seam 
 D/A          Bm
Home for the rover 
        G            Em
In the Ragpicker's Dream 


           G6            Gm6
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling 
      A    D/A     F#m   Bm
Like tears in our beer 
             D/A
Me and my associate 
         G         Asus4
Like the ambience here 
            D/F#         G         D/F#
Where they cornered two castaways 
                       Abdim  (Abdim)  Gm6  (Gm6)
In a white flashlight beam 
         D/A         Bm
Merry christmas and happy days 
        G            Em7  Gm6/Bb
In the Ragpicker's Dream
