BStick and Stones will F♯Break my Bones,

BAnd when your mama is F♯dead and E♭mgone,
               G#m              C#(sus4)--C#
I'll Sing this Lulabye just for you,
BAnd what becomes of all the F♯little boys,
BWho never comb their F♯hair
BWell they're A♭lined up all F♯around the E♭mblock
On the A♭mNickel C♯over F♯there.

BAnd if you don't get my F♯letteE♭mr,
            G#m              C#(sus4)--C#
Then you'll know that I'm in jail
BAnd what becomes of all the little F♯boys,
BWho never say their F♯prayers,

On the A♭mNickel C♯over F♯there.

C♯And if you chew A♭tobacco,
C♯And wish upon a A♭star,

C♯And B♭/Deven Thomas A♭JefE♭fersoFmn,
Is on the B♭mNickel E♭over A♭There.

C♯So ring around the A♭rosie,
C♯You're sleepin in the A♭rain,
C♯And you're always late for A♭supper,Fm
And man you B♭let me down, let me down E♭again,
C♯I thought I heard a A♭mocking bird,

On the B♭mNickel E♭over A♭There.

E♭The sandman takes you B♭where,
E♭Your sleepin' with the B♭pillow of Gmman,
On the CmNickel Fover B♭There.

Notes:
The tabs are not exactly guitar parts, but are string parts on the
song. I'm not a guitarist, so I don't know what are the best
fingerings, but these are the right notes.
