[Verse]
 
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
All over Harpers and Queens
