 There's a tyre on a rope above

  Em                 G
 brothers and best friends
  D                  G          
 Now the dams dried up and the 
Em       A
rope is frayed
  D         G         Em   A
 Danny and Dave they ran away
  D     G       Em      A

 Timmy built a ramp from the

front porch door
  D                G

  Em                G
 he just sits and stares
          D          G            
 And it breaks his heart not to 
Em    A
lend a hand
                   D        G     
 he says "There's too much work

 of places he wont see
