Jolly Coppers on Parade Lyrics

by Randy Newman
In Key of G
Intro:
They're comin' down the street
They're comin' right down the middle
Look how they keep the beat
Why they're as blue as the ocean
How the sun shines down
How their feet hardly touch the ground
Jolly Coppers On Parade
G E7sus4 C
Here come the black-and-whites
Here come the motorcycles
E7sus4 C
Listen to those engines roar
Now they're doin' tricks for the children
Oh, they look so nice
Looks like angels have come down from Paradise
Jolly Coppers On Parade
Oh, mama
That's the life for me
When I'm grown
That's what I want to be
G E7sus4 C
They're comin' down the street
They're comin' right down the middle
G E7sus4 C
Look how they keep the beat
Coming through the heart of the city
Oh, it's all so nice
Looks like angels have come down from Paradise
Jolly Coppers On Parade

Chords:
G: 320003
E7sus4: 020200

There is an electric guitar in the end playing a simple G (xxx033).
Most of the chords during the main progression will sound better
if you stick to the middle four strings, or add a high or low G.
That's how I play my favourite Randy Newman song. Enjoy
