Intro:
E/B | A | G#m | Asus2
E/G# | C#m | A | B
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
https://www.coveralia.com/acordes/the-ragpicker-s-dream-mark-knopfler.php
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
EB C#m
Merry Christmas and happy days
A A/F# C6
In the Ragpicker's Dream
E/B | A | G#m | Asus2
E/G# | Asus2 | E/G# E | Asus2
