[Intro]

C                          F7
I went to Kansas City on a Friday
   G                             C
By Saturday I learned a thing or two
C                
But up 'till then 
                 F
I didn't have an idea

G                                   C
Of what the mod'rn world was comin' to.
G C              G   Em     
I counted twenty gas buggies 
  D    G  Em
 goin' by their selves
D            D7            G       C
Almost every time I took a walk
G                 C   
An' then I put my ear 
     D     Em
To a bell telephone
      D                          G
An' a strange woman started into talk.
N.C.
(To you?)
G
What next! Yeah what??
 
[Verse]

C                  G7             C      G7
Everything's up to date in Kansas City
     C             E7  
They gone about as fer 
            A7
As they can go

     D7               G7        
They went an' built a skyscraper 
C     E7      Am
seven stories high

G                 
About as high as a 
D7            G     F  G7
buildin' orta grow.

C                   G7              C      G7
Everything's like a dream in Kansas City
     C            
It's better than a 
E7              A7
magic lantern show.

    D7           G7         
You can turn the radiator on 
C            E7        Am
whenever you want some heat

     D             G7     
With every kind of comfort 
      C        E7  Am
every house is all complete.

C         F        E7      Am    
You could walk the privees in the 
Fm6      C     F        Em
rain and never wet your feet!

Aaug    Dm7          
They've gone about as 
Eaug            A7
fer as they can go.

A7      Dm            
They've gone about as 
G7              C
fer as they can go!
 
[Verse]

C                  G7             C      G7
Everything's up to date in Kansas City
     C             E7  
They've gone about as 
             A7
fer as they can go

     D7          G7   
They got a big theatre 
     C      E7  Am
They call a burleque

G                  D7    
For fifty cents you could 
             G   F  G7
see a dandy show!

C                  G7     
One of the gals is fat and 
         C       G7
pink and pretty

    C            
As round above as 
E7              A7
she was round below

  D7          G7                 
I could swear that she was padded 
         C        E7     Am
from her shoulder to her heel

     D               G7     
But then she started dancin' 
        C       E7      Am
and her dancin' made me feel 

C    F      E7    Am   
That every single thing 
    Fm6     C    F    Em
she had was absolutely real!

Aaug     Dm7            Eaug       A7
She went about as fer as she could go
A7        Dm             
Yes, Sir! She went about 
G9             C
As fer as she could go!
