I went to Kansas City on a Friday

By Saturday I learned a thing or two

But up 'till then I didn't have an idea

Of what the mod'rn world was comin' to.
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by their selves
D MajorD D7D7 G+G C majorC
Almost every time I took a walk
G+G C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
An' then I put my ear to a bell telephone
D MajorD G+G
An' a strange woman started into talk.
N.C.
(To you)
G+G
What next! Yeah what ?
