Small change got rained on with his own thirty- eight
Verse 1
Cm
Cm
Dm
down by the arcade
Cm
Ab
And the marquees weren't weep
Dm
Fm
And the cabbies were the only ones that
Cm
Fm
really had it made
And his cold trousers were twisted,
and the sirens high and shrill
And crumpled in his fist was a five-
dollar bill
And the naked mannequins
with their Cheshire grins
And the raconteurs and roustabouts said buddy, come on in,
'cause
Bbm
Fm
'Cause the dreams ain't broken down here now,
they're walking with a limp
with his own thirty- eight
Verse 2
Cm
Dm
nobody flinched down by
Fm
G
the arcade
Fm
Cm
And the newsmen start to rattle
Fm
Eb
And the cops are telling jokes about some
And the fire hydrants plead the fifth
amendment
And the furniture is bargains
galore
But the blood is by the jukebox
Cm
Fm
on an old linoleum floor
Eb
Fm
And what a hot rain on forty-
second street
And now the umbrellas
ain't got a chance
And the newsboy's a lunatic with stains
Eb
Fm
on his pants, 'cause
'Cause small change got rained on
Ab
Fm
with his own thirty- eight
Verse 3
And no one's gone over to close
his eyes
And there's a racing
form in his pocket
Circled blue boots in the third
And the cashier at the clothing store
didn't say a word
As the siren tears the night in half,
Eb
G
and someone lost his wallet
Fm
Well, a surveillance of assailance, it that's what
Eb
Fm
you want to call it
Ab
Fm
And the whores hike up their skirts and fish for drug-
Bbm
Fm
With their mouths cut just like razor
Eb
Fm
blades and their eyes are like stilettos
And her radiator's steaming
Eb
Fm
and her teeth are in a wreck, and nah
She won't let you kiss her, but what the
if you want to buy perfume
Ab
Fm
Well, they'll bark you down like carneys, sell you
Cm
Fm
Cm
But small change got rained on

No more chewing gum or baseball cards

Someone's hosing down the sidewalk,
Fm
Gb
Fm
and he's only in his teens, 'cause
'Cause small change got rained
Verse 5
on with his own thirty- eight
Eb
Fm
And a fistful of dollars can't change that
And someone copped his watch fob,
hat
And the tuberculosis old men at the
nelson wheeze and cough
Cm
Fm
And someone will head south until this whole thing cools off,
'cause
'Cause small change got rained
on with his own thirty- eight, yeah
Ab
Fm
Small change got rained on with his
Ab
