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.

Repeat Chorus
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
