[Verse 1]
       A              Am
It was little Peter's birthday
    D                    A
And all his friends were there
    A                F#m
His mother gave them lots to eat
    D                 A
And there was lots to spare
     Bm                  E
They drank his health in orangeade
    Bm                 E
And wished him all the best
     A                Am
They didn't know that night
           D              A
That Peter was to have no rest

D


[Chorus]
G               Em
Black and white rainbows
C        B
Took him away
     G                     Em
To a place where liquorice allsorts
C              B
Get made every day
G               Em
Black and white rainbows
     C                B
Were only part of his dream
    G                         Em
But Peter thought that they'd plunged him
      C               B7
In an allsorts making machine

[Verse 2]
    A               Am
His mother rushed into the bedroom
D            A
Waken by his cries
A                      F#m
When she got there she couldn't
     D              A
Readily believe her eyes
Bm          E
On his bed across the window
Bm           E
Fitted was a drill
    A              Am
And Peter with his face against it
D            A
Lay upon the sill


[Chorus]
G               Em
Black and white rainbows
C        B
Took him away
     G                     Em
To a place where liquorice allsorts
C              B
Get made every day
G               Em
Black and white rainbows
     C                B
Were only part of his dream
    G                         Em
But Peter thought that they'd plunged him
      C               B7
In an allsorts making machine
