	  		   G        D             Am7 D9   G 
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo  
 
Cdim    G   G/F# Em   Cdim  Am7  D9   G 
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo 
 
     D     Am7     D9       Cdim  D   Am7   D7  
Who sang a sort of In - di - an  "Hi - de - ho"

To the peo - ple pas - sin' by. 
 
 
     G               D       Am7     D9   G 
The pinto spent his time a - swish - in' flies 
 
Cdim    G        G/F# Em    Cdim Am7  D9   G 
And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies 
 
    D     Am7   D9       Cdim  D   Am7   D7 
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes  
 
       C     C/B Cdim  D7   G 
On the peo - ple pas - sin' by. 
 
 
Bridge 1: 
 
     C    C/B Am7  Am7/G  G    G/F#  Em7   
One day, they went   a   walk - in'     
 
Em6  C   C/B Am7   Am7/G   G    Am7   G 
A - long the rail - road track; 
 
G/F#      Em          B+       Em7        Em6 
They were swish - in' not a - look - in' --  
 
     Bm7/5-          A7    Cdim  D7 
Toot! Toot! -- they never came back. 
 
 
     G         D             Am7  D9   G 
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo 
 
Cdim     G      G/F#   Em  Cdim Am7   D9   G 
When the summer sun decides  to set - tle low 
 
D     Am7      D9       Cdim  D   Am7   D7 
A fly sings an In - di - an  "Hi - de - ho"

Who used to bake fri - jo - les in  corn - meal dough

For the peo - ple pass - ing by. 
 
 
      G                       D        Am7  D9  G 
They thought that they would make some ea - sy bucks 
 
Cdim  G       G/F#       Em      Cdim Am7  D9  G 
By   washin' their fri - jo - les in  Duz and Lux, 
 
   D      Am7  D9    Cdim  D     Am7   D7 
A pair of very con - sci - en - tious clucks

Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion,  
 
Em6    C    C/B  Am7   Am7/G   G    Am7   G 
Their shoes were pol - ished bright; 
 
G/F#      Em     B+       Em7      Em6 
No, they never heard the whistle-- 
 
      Bm7/5-          Cdim         D7 
Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight

Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo, 
 
Cdim      G   G/F# Em   Cdim Am7   D9   G 
When the starlight beams its ten - der glow, 
 
     D    Am7    D9       Cdim        D   Am7  D7 
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough

For the peo - ple pass - in' by.
