The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm down to a roll of [D]dim[G]es
I'm stalking the slot that's [D]hot
I keep hear[C]ing bells all around me
[G]Jingling in the lucky jackpots
They keep you [D]tantalized
They keep you [C]reaching for your wallet
Here [G]in fools' paradise

[Verse 2]
I talked to a cat from Des [G]Moines[D]
[G]He said he ran[C] a cle[G]aning pla[D]nt
[Bm]That[D] cat w[G]as c[C]lanking with coin
Well, he must have had
[G]a genie [C]in a lamp
[G]'Cause eve[C]ry time,
[C#]I drop[D]ped a dime, I blew it
He kept [C]ringing bells
[G]Nothing to [Bm]it

[Verse 3]
[D]He got[C#] thr[G]ee oranges
Three lemons
Three [D]cherries
[G]Three plums
I'm losing my taste for [C]fruit
Watching the dry cleaner do [G]it
Like Midas [C]in a polyester[D]suit
[Em]It's all luck
[A]It's just luc[D]k
You get a [C]little [B]lucky [Eb]and you m[Em]ake a [Bb]little m[C]oney[D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
I [G]followed him down the [C]strip
[D]He picked out a booth
[C]at Circus Cir[D]cus
Where the [G]cowgirls fill the [C]room
With their big [G]balloons
The Cleaner was pitching with [D]purpose
He had [A]Dinos and Pooh Bears
[D]And lions, pink and blu[Bm]e the[Em]re
He couldn't [A]lose [Em]there[G]

[Verse 6]
Des Moines was stacking the chips
[D]Rak[C]ing off the tab[F#]les
[Em]Ringing the ban[D]dit's [G]bells
This is a [C]story that's a drag to tell
(In some ways)
Since I [G]lost every dime
I [C]laid on the line
[D]But the cleaner from Des Moines
Could [C]put a coin
[G]In the door of a John
And get twenty for one
It's [A]just[C][G]
[C]luck
