Just A Shanty In An Old Shanty Town

Capo at 3rd, transpose +3,(or leave like this to sing with baritones!) Ask if you want chord fingering help. I skipped the little vocal intro on this one. It's only a shanty in old shanty town, it's roof is so slanty, it touches the ground But my tum - bled down shack, by an old railroad track Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything There's a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown In a shanty in old shanty town There's a shanty in a track an' although it's just a shack There's a G.I. loan, gotta pay it back, the paint's brand new, but the loan is overdue, and I'm gonna, blow my stack It's a knocked-out pad, but the neighbors are mad, 'cause the cat next door is a swingin' lad Out o' my mind most all o' the time, this squaresville settlement's drivin' me mad I'd be just as sassy as Trigger or Lassie, I wouldn't even pay my union dues A toast to all, let's have a ball, hi-fi records blow rhythm and blues Gotta queen waitin' there in a contour chair, gave up rockin' 'cause she's no square But I'm jumpin' up and down an' I'm actin' like a clown - 'Cause I gotta get back to my shanty town I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything There's a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown In a shanty in old shanty town
