Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Oh [G]once I had a [F#m]little dog,
his [G]color it was [A]brown
I [G]taught him for to [F#m]whistle,
[G]to sing and dance and [A]run
His [D]legs they were four[Bm]teen yards long,
his [D]ears so very [Bm]wide
[D]Around the world in [Bm]half [F#m]a day,
[G]upon him I could [A]ride.
[D]Sing [G]Tarry-O Day, [A]Day,
[Bm]Sing, [G]Autumn to [A]May.
Oh [G]once I had a [F#m]little frog,
he [G]wore a vest of [A]red
He'd [G]lean upon his [F#m]sil ver cane,
a [G]top hat [A]on his head
He'd [D]speak of far off [Bm]places,
[F#m]of things[D] to see and do,[Bm]
Of [D]all the Kings and [Bm]Queens he'd
[F#m]met while sa[G]iling in a [A]shoe.
[D]Sing [G]Tarry-O Day, [A]Day,
[Bm]Sing, [G]Autumn to [A]May.
Oh [G]once I had a [F#m]flock of sheep,
they [G]grazed upon [A]a feather
I'd [G]keep them in a [F#m]music box
from [G]wind or rainy [A]weather
And [D]every day the [Bm]sun would shine,
[D]they'd fly all through [Bm]the town
To [D]bring me back some [Bm]golden rings,
[G]candy by the [A]pound.
[D]Sing [G]Tarry-O Day, [A]Day,
[Bm]Sing, [G]Autumn to [A]May.

[Verse 2]
Oh [G]once I had a [F#m]downey swan,
she [G]was so very [A]frail
[G]She sat upon [F#m]an oyster shell
and [G]hatched me out [A]a snail
The [D]snail had changed in[Bm]to a[F#m] bird,
the [D]bird to [Bm]butterfly
And [D]he who tells a [Bm]bigger [F#m]tale
would [G]have to tell [A]a lie.
[D]Sing [G]Tarry-O Day, [A]Day, [Bm]Sing, [G]Autumn to [A]May.
