Oh, once I had a little dog, his color it was brown,
CBmCD
I taught him how to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
GEmBmBm7GG/F#Em
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,
GEmBmBm7/ECD
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.
GCDEmCD
Sing tarry-o-day, Sing Autumn to May.
CBmCD
Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red,
CBmCD
He leaned upon a silver cane, a top hat on his head.
GEmBmBm7/EGG/F#Em
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,
GEmBmCD
And all the kings and queens he'd met, while sailing in a shoe.
GCDEmCD
Sing tarry-o-day, Sing Autumn to May.
CBmCD
Oh, once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather.
CBmCD
I'd keep them in a music box from wind and rainy weather.
GEmBm
And every day the sun would shine,
GEm
They'd fly all through the town
GEmBmCD
To bring me back some golden rings, and candy by the pound.
GCDEmCD
Sing tarry-o-day, Sing Autumn to May.
CBmCD
Oh, once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail,
CBmCD
She sat upon an oyster shell, and hatched me out a snail.
GEmBmBm7/EGEm
The snail it changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly,
GEmBmBm7/ECD
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
GCDEmCD
Sing tarry-o-day, Sing Autumn to May.
