Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
There [Em]once was
an [D]ugly [Ebdim]duckling
[D]With [Em]feathers all stubby [D]and brown
And the [Em]other [Eb]birds said
[Ebdim]in so man[D]y wor[F#]ds
[B]

[Verse 2]
[G]Get out[F#] of tow[Bm]n[D][Em]
[G]Get out[A], get[D] out, g[Em]et out of[A] town[D]
And he [G]went with [D]a quack
and a [Em]waddle [G]and a [D]quack
In a [A]flurry of eider[D]down
[Em][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
That [Em]poor little ugly [D]duckling[Ebdim]
Went [Em]wandering far and [D]near
But at [Em]every [Eb]place [Ebdim]they said[D] to his face
[G]Now [Em]get [F#]out,[Bm][D][G]
[D]get out[Em], get out[A] of her[D]e
And he [G]went with a [F#m]quack and
a [Em]waddle [A]and a [D]quack

[Verse 4]
And a [A]very [D]unhappy [Em]tear[A][D]
[A]All through the [Em]wintertime [A]he
hid himself [Em]away[A]
Ashamed to show his [Em]face,
[A]afraid of [G]what others might [C]say[Em]
[A]All through the winter in his
lonely clump of wheat
[E]Till a flo[A]ck of swans spied him there

[Verse 5]
and very soon agreed
[A]You’re a very fine swan indeed!
A [D]swan? [A]Me a swa[D]n? Ah, go [A]on!
And he said [C]yes, [Ebdim]you’re a swan
[D]Take a look at yourself in the
lake and [A]you’ll see
And he looked, and he saw, [D]and he said
I am a swan! [Ebdim]Whee!

[Verse 6]
[Em]I’m not such an ugly [D]duckling
[Em]No feathers all stubby and b[D]rown
For in [Em]fact these [Ebdim]birds in
[D]so many words [Ebdim]said
The [F#]best in [Bm]town, [D]the[G] best,
[D]the bes[Em]t
The [A]best in [D]town

[Verse 7]
Not a [G]quack, not a [D]quack,
not [G]a waddle or [D]a quack
But [G]a glide and a [D]whistle and
a snow[E]y white b[A]ack
And a [D]head so [Em]noble [A]and [D]high[Ebdim]
[Em]Say [Eb]who’s an ugly [D]duckling?[A]

[Verse 8]
Not [D]I![G][D][A][D]
Not I!
