hide your wings in a ghost tower
B                 A              
sails cackling at every plate we

brake
B                                Bb
was cracked by scattered needles
A
the little minute gong coughs and 
clears his throat
A
madam you see before you stand, hey,
 ho, never be still
A

grasshoppers green Herbarian band

       Isn't it good to be lost in 
the wood
G                                 
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in 
       G#
the wood
A                  D
meant even less to me than I thought
       A                   D
with a honey plough yellow prickly 
seeds
A                     D          
clover honey pots and mystic 
    F#7
shining feed...

    B                     A
the madcap laughed at the man on the
 border
B        A
hey, ho, huff the talbot
    B                       A
the winds they blew and the leaves 
did wag
    B                    A
and they'll never put me in their 
bag
    B                A
the raging seas will always seep
   B               A
so high you go, so low you creep
    B                A
the wind it blows in tropical heat
    B                     A
the drones they throng on mossy 
seats
    B                   A
the squeaking door will always 
squeak
    B                 A
two up, two down will never meet
   B                A
so merrily trip for good my side
