[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]My friend Billy he was actin'
kinda silly by [C]the seashore
[G]He started goofin',
countin' all the grains [D]of sand
[Dm]About a [G]thousand and thirty he
was gettin' kinda dirty
And he [C]looked at himself
and he laughed
He said, "I'll [G]never even finish what
I [D]got right here in my hand"
[G]

[Verse 2]
He had a revelation, had a revelation
He had some kinda knowledge comin'
In from somewhere else for free
[C]He had a revela[G]tion,
special [C]information
And I'm [G]hopin' they'll
be catchin' it
[D]From sea to shining sea
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]A girl named Nancy started talkin'
kinda fancy over [C]dinner
[G]Usin' clever phrases she would
always hafta stop and ex[D]plain
As [G]each sentence ended all her
guests were more offended
And she [C]looked at herself
and she laughed

[Verse 4]
She said "I'll [G]never ever use those
[D]hundred dollar words [G]again"
She had a [C]rev[G]elation,
she had a revelation
She had some kinda
knowledge comin' in
From somewhere else [C]to see

And I'm [G]sure they'll be catchin'
it [D]from sea to shining sea

He made some [G]little paper aeroplanes
To show them what he

Or the witch they thought he was
