Capo at 3rd, transpose +3,(or leave like this to sing with baritones!)
Ask if you want chord fingering help. I skipped the little vocal intro on this one.
It s only a shanty in old shanty town, it s roof is so slanty, it touches the ground
But my tum - bled down shack, by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire s mansion is calling me back
I d give up my palace if I were a king, it s more than a palace - it s my ev rything
- -
There s a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown
- - - -
In a shanty in old shanty town
There s a shanty in a track an although it s just a shack
There s a G.I. loan, gotta pay it back, the paint s brand new,
but the loan is overdue, and I m gonna, blow my stack
It s a knocked-out pad, but the neighbors are mad, cause the cat next door is a swingin lad
Out o my mind most all o the time, this squaresville settlement s drivin me mad
I d be just as sassy as Trigger or Lassie, I wouldn t even pay my union dues
A toast to all, let s have a ball, hi-fi records blow rhythm and blues
- -
Gotta queen waitin there in a contour chair, gave up rockin cause she s no square
-
But I m jumpin up and down an I m actin like a clown
- NC... - -
Cause I gotta get back to my shanty town
I d give up my palace if I were a king, it s more than a palace - it s my ev rything
- -
There s a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown
- -
In a shanty in old shanty town
