F# Catch a taxi to the fountainhead G# Blinking neon penny arcade A A young Caruso on the fire escape Bm E Painted faced ladies on parade The newsboy on the corner Singing out headlines And a fiddler selling pencils The sign reads "help the blind" Chorus: F#m Comin' up the lane callin' Bm F#m Workin' while the rain's fallin' D B/D# Ragman, your song of the street D E Keeps haunting my memory Music in the air I hear it ev'rywhere Rags, bones and old city songs Hear them, how they talk to me Trolley car rings out the morning Whistle blows at noon A cat fight breaks open the night While the watch dogs bay at the moon A preacher on an orange crate With a Salvation Army Band And clicking along the cobbled stones That's the sound of the ice-cream man Chorus: Comin' up the lane callin' Workin' while the rain's fallin' Ragman, your song of the street Keeps haunting my memory Music in the air I hear it ev'rywhere Rags, bones and old city songs Hear them, how they talk to me The organ grinder and his monkey Still walkin' the same old beat The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather He puts the rhythm in your feet Strollin' by the churchyard List'nin' to the Sunday choir With voices rising to the heavens Like sirens screaming to a fire Chorus: Comin' up to the lane callin' Workin' while the rain's fallin' Ragman, your song of the street Keeps haunting my memory Music in the air I hear it ev'rywhere Rags, bones and old city songs Play them one more time for me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  D#  E  F#  F#m  G#  Bm  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
