[Verse 1]
Now [G]the[F][G][Bbdim][A][Ebdim]
[D]bir[G]d arrived,
[E]but[Edim] now he[A]'s gone[D][G]
[E]But the story of his life [A]still lives [D]on
[G]And these are the dues
[E]that he [A]had to pay
[C#dim]An d thes[D]e are[G] the words[E]
[A]that the bird had [C]to say[D][G]
I'm feeling [A]low down and blue,
[C]my heart's full [A]of sorrow,[F#m]
[G]I hardly know wha[Ebdim]t to do,
[G]where will I be tomorrow[C]?
Going to Kansas [G]City,
going to Kansas City,
no you [C]can't go there,
going to Kansas [A]City,[D]
[G]Sorry that I can't take you
[D]When [G]you see me coming,
raise your window high
When you see me [E]passing,
baby, hang your [C]head and cry
[A]I'm afraid [D]there's nothing
in this screamy greamy town
A honky tonkin' woman [G]can [Edim]do
[Bbdim]She'd only bri[D]ng herself dow[A]n[Am]
[D]So lon[G]g, everybody
[C#dim]I'm afrai[C]d the time has [F]come
[D]that I may never [G]see
your smiling [A]face [G]again
But I want you to remember
like a [D]Christmas day [C]in December
All through [Gm]the end[C]
Through thick and thin
[Gm]Charlie Park[G]er was your [C]friend[C#dim]
[D]Don't hang your head
when you see
[E]those six beautiful [Em]horses pulling me
[A]Put a twenty dollar gold piece
on my watch chain
[D]And watch the smile on [A]my face
and sing a little song
And tell the [G]world that I'm free
[E]I'm going to Kansas City
[A]Baby, don't you cry for me, oh no, [D]don't cry [G]for me[C#dim][C][F][Ebdim][G][D][C]
[G]
[C#dim][C][Baug]
[C][A][C][G][C][C#dim]
[Em][E][A][Em][A]
[D][Am][D][F#dim][G][Fm][Bb]
[Am][C]
[G]So long, [C]everybody I'm
afraid the time has come
[D]that I may never [G]see your
smiling face again
But I want you to remember
[C]like a Christmas [G]day in Decem
[C]ber all through the end
[Gm]Thro[C]ugh thick and thin
[D]Charlie [G]Parker was [D]your friend
[G]Don't hang your head when you see
those [E]six beautiful horses [Em]pulling me
[A]Put a 20 gold piece on [C#dim]my watch chain
An[A]d watch t[C]he smile on m[D]y face
And sing a [Ebdim]little song and tell the [G]world
[C]That I'm free [C#dim]and I'm going to K[A]ansas C[G]ity
