----------------............. *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 bitch 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, inside 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 bitch 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.

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.
