Mother Goose Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]As I didn't walk the Hampstead Fair,
[Bb]came upon [C]Mother Goose,
so [Bb]I tur[C]ned her loose,
she was [G]screaming.
And the foreign students said to me,
[Bb]was [C]it really true?
There [Bb]were elephants, [C]lions, too,
and pigs in this [G]circus.
[C]Walk down by the [G]fading pond
[C]and try[Am] to catch some sun.[F][C][G]
So at least a [C]hundred schoolgirls
sobbing into [Am]handkerchiefs are [F]swan[C][G]
I [Gm]don't believe they knew
I [G]was a schoolboy
And a bearded lady said to me
If [C]you start your raving,
[Bb]and you're m[C]isbehaving, you'll b[G]e sorry
And a chicken fencer
came to play [Bb]this [C]long red beard
An[Bb]d his [C]sister's weird,
she'd grasp the [G]reed
[C]Laughed down by the port in green
and [Am]popped them in their [F]horns[C][G]
Four and twenty [C]labourers were labouring
and [Am]digging up their [F]bones[C][G]
I [Gm]don't believe they knew
I [G]was logged on silver
So Johnny Scarecrow
make his rounds [Bb]in h[C]is jet black Mac
[Bb]Which [C]he won't give back,
it from the [G]snowman
As I didn't walk by Hampstead Fair,
came [Bb]upon [C]Mother Goose
So [Bb]I tur[C]ned her loose,
she was [G]screamin'
[C]Walked down by the fading pond
and [Am]tried to catch some [F]sun[C][G]
Saw at least a [C]hundred schoolgirls
subbing in to [Am]Hank Jesus
[F]One [C]I d[G]on't [Gm]believe I
knew I [G]was a schoolboy

[Outro 1]
[G]
