...CLAP HANDS... by Tom Waits
----------------.............

*from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)*


Intro:

Em,
C7  Em (x2), Em

Verse 1:

Em
 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:

     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.

Verse 2:

      Em
Said; roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a b**ch 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:

     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.

Bridge 1:

      C7              Em
Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream,
C7                         Em
 Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans.
  C7                         Em
A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat,
    C7
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.

Verse 3:

Em
 Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar,
Son of a b**ch 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:

     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.

Interlude:

Em,
C7  Em (x2), Em

Bridge 2:

      C7              Em
Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream,
C7                         Em
 Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans.
  C7                         Em
A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat,
    C7
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.

Verse 4:

Em
 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:

     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.
     C7          Em
Clap hands, clap hands.

(Repeat to Fade)
