            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   D/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
              Abm7b5  (Abm7b5)
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  D/A    F#m   Bm
In our glasses of beer
             D/A
Me and my associate

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
                     Abm7b5  (Abm7b5)
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
                    D7/Ab  (D7/Ab)  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    D/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
                       Abdim  (Abdim)  Gm6  (Gm6)
In a white flashlight beam
         D/A         Bm
Merry christmas and happy days
        G            Em7  Gm6/Bb
