      E/B                  A       G#m
When Jack Frost came for Christmas
                     Asus2
With a brass monkey date
     E/G#              C#m       
The rail-king and the scarecrow
           A             A/F#
Hopped a Florida freight
           E/B          A          G#m
And they blew on their paper cups
                         Asus2
And stared through the steam
            E/G#        C#m
Then they drank half a bottle
    A            Fm
Of Ragpicker's Dream where
      A6            Am6
The whiskey keeps following
      B           E/G#  
Cold pitchers of beer
C#m          E/B
Me and my associate
           Asus2         B
Like the clientele here get
    E/G#             A     G#m
The onions and the 'taters
                  Asus2
Rib-eyes on the grill
 E/G#           C#m
Toothpicks and luckies
       A      A/F#   
And a coffee refill

E/B | A | G#m | Asus2
E/G# | C#m | A | B
        E/G#          A      E/G#
As the rail-king lay rocking
                     Asus2
He was leaving the ground
              E/G#       C#m        A
Then he was flying like Santa Claus
          A/F
Over the town where
    E/G#        A      E/G#
He came to the window
                   Asus2  E/G#
Of a house by a stream
                   C#m
It was a family Christmas
        A            A/F#
In the Ragpicker's Dream there
      E/G#        A    E/G#
Were kids at the table
                  Asus2  E/G#
All aglow in the light
              C#m
Music in the wintertime
      A          A/F#
Sure carries at night there
     E/G#        A
Was turkey and gravy
 E/G#         A#m7/5-
Pie and ice cream
     E/B               C#m
And gifts for each and everyone
        A           F#m
In the Ragpicker's Dream where

     A6            Am6
The red-eye keeps tumbling
         B         E/G#
In our glasses of beer
C#m          E/B
Me and my associate
          Asus2      B
Like the service in here there's
   E/G#          A     E/G#
A ten for your trouble
          Asus2
You have beautiful hair
          E/G#         C#m
Make the last one two doubles
        A             A/F#
It's a cold one out there where

      E/G#             A        E/G#
The scarecrow and the rail-king
                 Asus2
Have started to dance
       E/G#             C#m      
But a nightstick and a billyclub 
     A               A/F#               
Won't give peace a chance here
    E/G#            A       E/G#
I think they went thataways
                     A#m7/5-
Your song and dance team
         E/B          C#m      A
Heading home for the holidays
                       A/F#
With the Ragpicker's Dream on

      E/B         A      E/G#
His knees like a fighter
                 Asus2  E/G#
The rail-riding king
                  C#m
Like a sack of potatoes
        A           A/F#
Like a bull in the ring where
      E/G#          A    E/G#
The scarecrow falls over
                    A#7/5-   A6
With a tear in the seam
 E/B          C#m
Home for the rover
        A            A/F#
In the Ragpicker's Dream where

     A6            Am6
The red-eye keeps tumbling
      B            E/G#
Like tears in our beer
C#m          E/B
Me and my associate
         A         B
Like the ambience here where
      E/G#         A        E/G#
They cornered two castaways
                       A#dim   A6
In a white flashlight beam
         E\B         C#m  
Merry Christmas and happy days
        A            A/F#   C6
In the Ragpicker's Dream
