[Verse 1]
[C]The nex[G]t morning[C] Obl[D]io noticed
that the rock under which they had
Slept [G]was in the shape of a giant
pointing [C]hand and there
Was an [G]enscryption on its side which
[C]read destination [G]point.[C]
[D]So they set off in the direction indicated
by the hand [G]an d before
Long they found themselves on a [C]road
which led them out of the
Pointless forest and on and on through the
pointed hill[A]s and valleys
Until finally they paused and in
[D]the distance they
Could see the spires and
the steeples of the land of point.
[G]Now when the[D] townspeople heard that
[G]Oblio and Arrow had returned they
Ran out to the edge of [C]town to give them
a heroes welcome for you see
[G]Not only were the people
glad [A]to see them,
[D]Oblio and Arrow were the first to[A]
Have ever been to the pointless [C]forest
When word of Oblios re[D]turn
had reached the count he was so
Mad [G]he ran to the court yard and he
grabbed Oblio and he said...
What are [C]you doing here?
You were ban[G]ished to
the pointless [C]forest!"
And Oblio said "
[G]But we went to [C]the pointless
[D]forest and
Not only that but its not
pointless at all."
What?!?" there [G]was a huge gasp
from the crowd
[C]Nonsense!" said the count. "
You're in trouble!"
[A]And just then the king
arrived and he said "
Not so fast count.
What do you mean [D]'not
pointless' Oblio?"
And Oblio said "
Well, it's just that we did go to the
Pointless forest and it's
[G]not pointless at all.
Infact the trees pointed..."
Nooo!" from the crowd
"...
And the leaves on all the
branches pointed..."
Noooo!" [C]from the crowd
"...
Infact even the branches pointed [A]and
not only that but everyone we
Met in the entire pointless forest
had a point and it's just that,
Well it's just like here and we
figured since that
Everything has a point,
then i must [C]have one too."
Just then someone [D]in the
crowd yelled out "
He's got a point [G]there!"
And at that point the bell sounded in the
pointed [C]steeple and all the
Points on the tops of all the buildings
in the whole land of point
[D]Began to mel[G]t and at that point
the points on the tops of the
Heads [C]of all the people in the whole
land of point began to [A]melt.
All that is except for the count[D]s,
His just sort of flapped over
on its side and
He split, presumably for the
[G]pointless forest.
But before he did he reached over
and [C]he grabbed
Oblio and he pulled off his cap
[A]and ya know what?
There on the top of Oblios head
[C]was a poi[D]nt
Well that's about [G]it.
Oblio went on to start up a punk
band called We Dunno(
You mighta heard of them).
That's the end [C]of the story so thank
you [D]and good night
