   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.

By   washin' their fri - jo - les in  Duz and Lux,

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

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.
