Chords.

G formation then choose your key with a capo! Style is ragtime played with a modified claw hammer finger pick so you can pick out the tune. Good luck

G
I'm running up a spiral staircase
D                      G
Still in a hole in the ground
G
And the staircase is swimming

And my head is spinning
D                      G
I don't even dare to look round

    Cho #1:
       D
    And I'm running up a spiral staircase
    G
    I can't reach the top
    D
    I'm running up a spiral staircase
       G
    And I'm too scared to stop.
                A7
    And there's nothing anybody can do

                C
    To stop the staircase like a giant corkscrew
                  G
    From spinning around
       D          G
    And around, and around
