            D/F#            G       Dmaj7/F#
When Jack Frost came for Christmas

                     Gadd9
With a brass monkey date

     D/F#               Bm
The rail-king and the scarecrow

           G              Em7
Hopped a Florida freight

           D/F#          G          Dmaj7/F#
And they blew on their paper cups

                         Gadd9
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           F#m   Bm
Cold pitchers of beer

             D/A
Me and my associate

           Gadd9    Asus4
Like the clientele here

        D/F#             G      Dmaj7/F#
Get the onions and the 'taters

                  Gadd9  D/F#
Rib-eyes on the grill

                Bm
Toothpicks and luckies

       G             Em7
And a coffee refill
| D/F# | G | Dmaj7/F# | Gadd9 | | D/F# | Bm | G | A |
        D/F#          G       Dmaj7/F#
As the rail-king lay rocking

                     Gadd9
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

                   Gadd9  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

                  Gadd9  D/F#
All aglow in the light

              Bm
Music in the wintertime

      G          Em7
Sure carries at night

           D/F#        G    Dmaj7/F#
There was turkey and gravy

              G#m7b5  (G#m7b5)
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         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

                    Gadd9
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

                 Gadd9
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

                     G#m7b5  (G#m7b5)
Your song and dance team

         D/A          Bm
Heading home for the holidays

          G            Em7  (Em7)
With the Ragpicker's Dream

         D/F#        G       Dmaj7/F#
On his knees like a fighter

                 Gadd9  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

                    G#7b5  (G#7b5)  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            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

                       G#dim  (G#dim)  Gm6  (Gm6)
In a white flashlight beam

         D/A         Bm
Merry Christmas and happy days

        G            Em7  Gm6/Bb
