Am      Dm       Am     Dm       
Raggedy Ann came out to play 
Am         G       C      E7         Am 
Kittened a thin disguise against the day 
          Dm    Am        Dm       
Painted a face across the mask 
F             Dm      E7 
Victim of the looking glass 
                  Am 
Store windows are cruel 


Am        Dm        Am        Dm       
Mannequin charms outshine her own 
Am       G        C     E7       Am 
Running away from her reflection home 
            Dm     Am       Dm       
Hanging her head behind the door 
F               Dm      E7 
Sleeping on the kitchen floor 


            Am 
In glorious dreams 
    E7       C        D 
She walks outside her skin 
    Dm      Am/C      B7       E 
Her face so fine, her waist so thin 
    Am    E    Am     G/B C  F C 
Her voice like chimes and mandolins 
E7                Am    E7 
Beautiful phantom doll  


Am       Dm       Am     Dm       
Saturday night on Circus Street 
Am        G        C      E7       Am 
Beating a long and ill-conceived retreat 
         Dm      Am      Dm       
Carnival barkers bar her way 
    F             Dm        E7 
She never hears a word they say 


            Am 
In glorious dreams 
    E7           C      D 
She strolls, the boys beseech 
    Dm    Am/C     B7     E 
The Venus queen of Venice Beach 
   Am    E  Am G/B C   F  C 
So near, so e--ver out of reach 
E7                Am    E7 
Beautiful phantom doll

Dm Am         E           Am 
Midnight, the struggle is over 
Dm      Am          F#7      B7 
Rise up, lily-white delicate shoulders 
Em C         B7        Em 
Outside, the poets all know her 
Am         Em           B7  E7 
All of her children are waiting 


Am          Dm          Am       Dm       
Beggars and wrecks line junkyard lanes 
Am      G        C           E7          Am 
Tiffany slippers click-clack through the rain 
        Dm        Am        Dm       
Rickety bones and sheer chiffon 
F              Dm      E7 
Dancing on the mayor's lawn 


            Am 
In glorious dreams 
     E7            C      D 
They glide through gilded rooms 
    Dm         Am/C    B7      E 
The drakes and gravely pale dragoons 
    Am  E  Am   G/B  C  F   C 
The wasted daughters of the moon 
E7                Am    E7

Raggedy Andy wrote this song 
Am           G          C      E7       Am 
Scribbled it here where oceans meet the dawn 
          Dm     Am        Dm       
Scuttled away on hands and claws 
F          Dm      E7 
Cinderella sailors draw 


            Am 
In glorious dreams 
   E7        C         D 
Sunrise, she spins her spells 
   Dm     Am/C     B7      E 
On rising tides of wishing wells 
   Am E   Am G/B C F   C 
On A--phrodi-te  lotus shells 
E7                Am
