G E7sus4 {Fill} C
Here come the black-and-whites

Oh, they look so nice

Looks like angels have come down from Paradise

Oh, mama

That's the life for me

When I'm grown
C D7sus G E7sus4 C D7sus
That's what I want to be

G E7sus4 {Fill} C
They're comin' down the street
D7sus
They're comin' right down the middle
G E7sus4 {Fill} C
Look how they keep the beat

Coming through the heart of the city

Repeat main progression to fade.

Chords:
G: 320003
E7sus4: 020200

D7sus: 000210
Em: 022000
Bm7: x24232

|--2s4s2--0--2----------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|


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
