Verse 1
[G]He came from the old [F]religion But [C]possessed no magic skill
[G]Descending from [A]machinery He left [D]nothing in his will
[G]The crops are failing [F]The women wailing It's in the [C]paper at your feet
Six [G]months in Kansas [D]City Down on [C]Liberty Street[G]
It was sad [F]to see it That little [C]lady going in
[G]Arrested for [A]arson Once they'd [D]asked her where she'd been
[G]Down on her knees [F]Not even a breeze Another [C]victim of the heat
Six [G]months in Kansas [D]City Down on [C]Liberty Street[G]
[G]Things sure don't look too [F]pretty 'Cause a [C]man to rob and steal
I got a [G]full six more months [A]out here Can't be [D]begging for my meals
Now look here [G]Baby Snooks Doesn't [F]matter what books
You keep [C]underneath your seat
Six [G]months in Kansas [D]City Down on [C]Liberty Street 2x
