[Verse 1]
There's [D]Pharaohs and there's farmers,
there's [A]bosses [C#dim]and there's slaves*
[Bm]There's every kind of sorrow in
[G]the fields these days
From the [D]Delta of the [F#]Nile to
the Coun[Bm]try of the Brave
[G]And bab[A]y's gone mad aga[Bm]in
But [D]Moses climbed the mountain,
[F#]Moses got the stones
And [Bm]Moses told the people:
"We're go[G]ing on home"
And the [D]Red Sea [F#m]parted and
the [Bm]Dead Sea [G]moaned
With the [D]Ragtime [A]Ragtime

[Verse 2]
[D]Lead me to the river,
lay [C#dim]me by the shore
Let [Bm]the coyotes find me,
let the [G]raindrops pour
Let the [D]clouds drop [F#]roses til
I"m [Bm]drowned in [G]thorns
Cause [A]baby's gone mad [Bm]again
[D]Rivers flow wild, [F#]rivers flow free
And [Bm]rivers flow mighty or it [G]just might be
That [D]rivers run [F#]crazy til the
[Bm]moon comes [G]clean

Genghis Khan was conned but [C#dim]Na
poleon was told
[Bm]Never go and conquer
what [G]you cannot hold
If [D]land was a wo[F#]man I'd
[Bm]be foolish for [G]the gold
And [A]baby's gone mad again
[Bm]Now I'm [D]not saying that I'm [F#]some king
And [Bm]I'm not saying that [G]you're no queen
[D]I'm just say[F#]ing, I'm[Bm] just saying I'v[G]e got the

[Verse 4]
The [D]deeper is the winter,
[C#dim]the richer is the spring
What [Bm]the frost might taketh,
the sun[G]shine brings
A little [D]color on the [F#]hill,
a little [Bm]dust upon [G]the wings
Cause [A]baby's coming back [Bm]again
[D]None can decipher, [F#]none too soon
[Bm]The circles of the sun and
[G]the circles of the moon
Run [D]circles round my [F#]head
in a cir[Bm]culatory [G]tune
Called [D]the [A]Rag[Bm]time[G] Ragtime[D][A]
