verse 1
     C                               Gm             F
Come all you pretty women, with your hair a-hanging down
                                              G
Open up your window, cause the Candy Man's in town
                 Dm      G                   Dm
Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones
F                                             G
Seven come eleven, Boys, I'll take your money home


Bb        F             C
Look out, look out, the Candy Man
Bb      F              C
Here he comes and he's gone again
Am                G
Pretty lady ain't got no friend till the,
F               G
Candy Man comes around aga---in

verse 2
C                               Gm                  F
I come in from Memphis, where I learned to talk the jive
                                             G
When I get back to Memphis, be one less man alive
                 Dm        G                Dm
Good morning Mr. Benson, I see you're doing well
F                                               G
If I had me a shotgun, I'd blow you straight to hell


Bb        F             C
Look out, look out, the Candy Man
Bb      F              C
Here he comes and he's gone again
Am                G
Pretty lady ain't got no friend till the,
F               G
Candy Man comes around aga---in

C                          Gm               F
Come on Boys and wager, if you have got the mind
                                            G
If you've got a dollar, Boys, lay it on the line
               Dm      G                    Dm
Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey and rye
F                                                         G
Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candy Man's in to---wn
