Sug ar Man,

won’t you (Dm7)hur ry?

’Cause I’m ti red of (E7)dis these scenes.

For a blue coin,

won’t you (Dm7)bring back

all those col ors (E7)to my dreams?

(C)Sil ver mag ic ships you (F)car ry.

Jump ers, (Am)coke, sweet Mar y Jane.

on a lone ly, dust (E7)dis y road.

Lost my heart; coin,

when I (Dm7)found it,
