key: G
Bm          Am
Noontime the lunch stand tilts

C                                         
It's you baby walking in with your stilts
           
           G                Em                                                 
You don't have to eat here no more
  
D     C                                      Bm         
Cos the sauerkraut's been on the dog-bowl floor
  
                 Am         
They made an old film of this

C                                 
It shows in Hindu out on Air Pacif

Bm                            Am                                        
Shoulda seen it coming 'bout a mile away
 
G                                               Am
Especially when you don't hear no harmonica play


Pre-Chous

                    C
What you can see is something you saw

Bm                           
When you were a little girl

     Am                  C                
Some picture passed by the Hays Commission
        
        G                          
About a prairie and a Kansas whirl
      
     Am                 C           
It's true I didn't have a part in it
                             
      Bm
I was working out at Disneyworld
 
                Am               C     
Dressing like a duck, not giving a fuck

G                               Bm   
Baby you can dream it's a pearl


[Chorus]

                   Am             
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
       
       C                                
It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw
       
        G                 Em      D                 
Or your soul would take the overnight train

C                               
To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore

Bm               Am            C       
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
                             
What will it do to your mind?

Bm                 Am               
Hang gliding off the Grand Canyon
                        
     G       
In a Coney Island for the blind


[Verse]

Am            C                                    
With me, it'd be Charlie Parker, Chevys

    Bm                           
And late night barroom brawls

     Am              C                      
With real or imaginary friends and enemies

    G                                
Who strike their heads when they fall

       Am                 C                    
On the chassis of a classic Bull Nose special

      Bm                         
That adorned our living room wall

        Am               C                              
Nobody'd be disappointed, if you're the one they wanted

G                                Bm
Blazing out across the waterfall


[Chorus]
                   Am
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
       
       C                                
It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw
       
        G                 Em      D                 
Or your soul would take the overnight train

C                               
To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore

Bm               Am              C       
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
                             
What will it do to your mind?

Bm                 Am                
Hang gliding off the Grand Canyon
                        
     G                           Am
In a Coney Island for the blind


[Verse]
                 C
Suppose I should drag my stuff on out

    Bm                         
But I don't like the memories

               Am           C              
Found a pint of brandy on top of the fridge
         
         G                
And it's working like an antifreeze

       Am                       C           
So California is running short of water, oh

    Bm                           
The magazine turns in the breeze

         Am                  C                G
It's the bargain of a lifetime dreaming of gold
                      
                       Bm
Baby look in the trees


[Outro]
                  Am
It's your Chinese year of the animal

      C                      
And it must be one that preens

G                      Em    D           
Those firecrackers going down the hill

C                           
Signify the end of our dreams

Bm            Am      
It's gonna be so beautiful

C                             
In those Leopardskin Limousines

          Bm              Am   
When they spread you out in white

G
