[Intro 1]
[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
She had a [G]revelation,
a special situ[C]ation
And I'm [G]sure they'll be catchin'
it [D]from sea to shining sea
[G]

[Verse 5]
Well, there's [C]a time and a
place for [G]everything
[C]A way of standin' up and never
[G]tippin' your canoe
[C]Sometimes it's better if you [G]just give in
[D]Never use a hammer on a screw
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]Mister L. da Vinci said he
wouldn't budge an inch he
Was con[C]vinced that someday
humans would fly
He made some [G]little paper aeroplanes
To show them what he
had on his [D]mind[F]
[G]Even men of learnin' would have rather
Seen him burnin' like the [C]devil
Or the witch they thought he was

[Verse 7]
So he kept his [G]big mouth shut
And he [D]didn't have to say good[G]bye
He [D]had a [G]revelation,
he had a revelation
He had some kinda

[Verse 8]
Knowledge [G]comin' in from A [C]to Z
Had a revela[G]tion, a pile of in[C]formation
And I'm [G]hopin' they'll be catchin' it
From [D]sea to shining sea
[G]

[Verse 9]

Special [G]information[G][G]
[G]Special situ[G]ation
Pile of information
