The Old Dope Peddler
by Tom Lehrer

     C majorC     Bb7Bb7    A7A7
When the shades of night are falling,
    DmDm   G7G7    C majorC
Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows,
     C#dimC#dim  DmDm
It's the old dope peddler,
     C majorC   G7G7    C majorC  G7G7  c  G7G7
Spreading joy wherever he goes.
   C majorC    Bb7Bb7   A7A7
Ev'ry evening you will find him,
 DmDm    G7G7   C majorC
A-round our neighborhood.
     C#dimC#dim  DmDm
It's the old dope peddler
   C majorC    G7G7  c  c7
Doing well by doing good.

  FF          E minorEm
He gives the kids free samples,
  DmDm         C majorC
Be-cause he knows full well
    DmDm     G7G7       A7A7
That to-day's young innocent faces
      D7D7        Dm7Dm7  G7G7
Will be to-morrow's clientele.
     C majorC    Bb7Bb7   A7A7
Here's a cure for all your troubles,
     DmDm   G7G7   C majorC
Here's an end to all dis-tress.
       C#dimC#dim DmDm
It's the old dope peddler
     C majorC    G7G7   C majorC
With his powdered ha-happiness.
