Just A Shanty In An Old Shanty Town

3
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. 

      C      E7       A7                     D7         D#dim       D9          D7 
It's only a shanty in old shanty town, it's roof is so slanty, it touches the ground 
       G                G7           C             C7 
But my tum - bled down shack, by an old railroad track 
        D             D7         G          G7 
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back 

     C          E7       A7                   D7         D#dim         D9       D7 
I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything 
            F            Fm          C -E7 -  A7 
There's a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown 
      Dm7       G - G7  -  C      Cdim - Dm7 - G7 
In a shanty in old shanty town 

            C                       E7 
There's a shanty in a track an' although it's just a shack 
          A7                                 D7 
There's a G.I. loan, gotta pay it back, the paint's brand new, 
        D#dim                     D9  
but the loan is overdue, and I'm gonna, blow my stack 
         G                        G7                           C                   C7 
It's a knocked-out pad, but the neighbors are mad, 'cause the cat next door is a swingin' lad 
D                    D7                     G                         G7 
Out o' my mind most all o' the time, this squaresville settlement's drivin' me mad 
    C                     E7                   A7    
I'd be just as sassy as Trigger or Lassie, I wouldn't even pay my union dues 
   D7                 D#dim        D9 
A toast to all, let's have a ball, hi-fi records blow rhythm and blues 
        F                       Fm              C   -  E7     -       A7 
Gotta queen waitin' there in a contour chair, gave up rockin' 'cause she's no square 
         Dm7                          G      -      G7  
But I'm jumpin' up and down an' I'm actin' like a clown 
     -     C     NC...                      Cdim - Dm7 - G7 
'Cause I gotta get back to my shanty town 

     C          E7       A7                   D7         D#dim         D9        D7 
I'd give up my palace if I were a king, it's more than a palace - it's my ev'rything 
            F            Fm          C -E7 -  A7 
There's a queen waiting there, in a sil-very crown 
      Dm7       G - G7  -  C      Cdim   C 
In a shanty in old shanty town
