In Key of G
Intro:
[G] [E7sus4] [C] [D7sus]
[G] [E7sus4] [C] [D7sus]
[G] They're comin' [E7sus4]down the street[C]
They're comin' [D7sus]right down the middle[G]
Look how they [E7sus4]keep the beat[C]
Why they're as [D7sus]blue as the ocean[Em]
How the [Bm7]sun shines down[C]
How their feet [G]hardly touch the ground
[Am7] [Bm7] Jolly Copp[C]ers [D7sus] On Par[G]ade[E7sus4][C][D7sus]
G E7sus4 C
Here come the black-and-whites
Here come the [D7sus]motorcycles[G]
E7sus4 C
Listen to those engines roar
Now they're doin' [D7sus]tricks for the children
[Em] Oh, they [Bm7]look so nice
[C] Looks like angels have come [G]down from Paradise
[Am7] [Bm7] Jolly Copp[C]ers [D7sus] On Par[G]ade[E7sus4][C][D7sus]
[Em] Oh, [Bm7]mama
[C] That's the life for [G]me
[Am7] When I[Bm7]'m grown
That's what[C] I [D7sus] want to [G]be[E7sus4][C][D7sus]
G E7sus4 C
They're comin' down the street
They're comin' [D7sus]right down the middle
G E7sus4 C
Look how they keep the beat
Coming through the [D7sus]heart of the city
[Em] Oh, it's a[Bm7]ll so nice
[C] Looks like angels have come [G]down from Paradise
[Am7] [Bm7] Jolly Copp[C]ers [D7sus] On Par[G]ade[E7sus4]
[Am7] [Bm7] Jolly Copp[C]ers [D7sus] On Par[G]ade[E7sus4][C][D7sus]
[G] [E7sus4] [C] [D7sus]
Repeat main progression to fade.
Chords:
G: 320003
E7sus4: 020200
C: 032010
D7sus: 000210
Em: 022000
Bm7: x24232
Am7: x02010
Fill:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|--2s4s2--0--2----------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
There is an electric guitar in the end playing a simple G (xxx033).
Most of the chords during the main progression will sound better
if you stick to the middle four strings, or add a high or low G.
That's how I play my favourite Randy Newman song. Enjoy
