Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Fsus4add9-(/D)
Davenports and kettle drums
Fsus4add9-
and swallow tail coats
F6add9 -/5- /5+
table cloths and patent leather shoes
Fsus4add9-(/A)
bathing suits and bowling balls
/5+
and clarinets and rings
and all this radio really needs is a fuse
tinker, tailor
a soldier's things
/5+
his rifle, his boots full of rocks
Fsus4add9-
and this one is for bravery
-/5-
and this one is for me
/5+
and everything's a dollar
Fsus4add9-(/A)
in this box
/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
