Verse 1
Oh, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] once I had a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] little dog, his		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] color it was		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] brown,
I [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] taught him for to		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] whistle, to		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] sing and dance and		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] run.
His [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] legs they were four-		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] teen yards		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] long,		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] his ears so very		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] wide,
A- [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] round the world in		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] half a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] day, up-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] on him I could		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] ride.
Chorus
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Sing		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] tarry-o		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] day,		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] Sing		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] Autumn to		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] May.

Verse 2
Oh, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] once I had a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] little frog, he		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] wore a vest of		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] red,
He [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] leaned upon a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] silver cane, a		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] top hat on his		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] head.
He'd [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] speak of far off		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] places, of		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] things to see and		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] do,
And [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] all the kings and		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] queens he'd		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] met, while		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] sailing in a		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] shoe.

Verse 3
Oh, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] once I had a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] flock of sheep, they		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] grazed upon a		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] feather.
I'd [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] keep them in a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] music box from		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] wind and rainy		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] weather.
And [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] every day the		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] sun would		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] shine, they'd		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] fly all through the		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] town
To [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] bring me back some		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] golden		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] rings, and		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] candy by the		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] pound.
Repeat Chorus

Verse 4
Oh, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] once I had a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] downy swan, she		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] was so very		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] frail,
She [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] sat upon an		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] oyster shell, and		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] hatched me out a		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] snail.
The [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] snail it changed in-		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] to a		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] bird, the		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] bird to butter-		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] fly,
And [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] he who tells a		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Second] bigger		 [BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] tale would		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] have to tell a		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lie.
Repeat Chorus
