The Surrey With The Fringe On Top Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]When I [Dm]take [G]you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's [Dm]the way it's
goin' to be:
You will set behind a team
of [G]snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!
[C]Chicks and [G]ducks and
[C]geese better scurry
When I [G]take you [C]out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the [G]surrey
with the [D]fringe on [G]top!
[C]Watch that fringe [G]and [C]see how it flutters
When I drive [G]them [C]high
steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' [G]their shutters
and their [D]eyes will [G]pop!
The [Gm]wheels are [C]yeller,
[F]the upholstery's brown,
[Gm]The dash[C]board's genuine [F]leather,
[D]With isinglass curtains y'
can [G]roll right [D]down,
In case there's a change in the [G]weather.
[C]Two bright sidelight's
winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a- thinkin'
[G]You[C] c'n keep your rig if you're
thinkin' 'at [G]I'd keer [F]to [A]swa[Dm]p
[D]Fer that [C]shiny, little surrey with the fringe
[G]on the top[C]! Did you say
the fringe was made of silk
Wouldn't have no other kind
[Ab]but silk
Does it really have a team of
snow white horses
One's like snow, the other's
more like milk
[Db]All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey
with [Bbm]the fringe [Eb]on top![Ab][A]
[D]When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together
and [E]the toads will [A]hop![Am]
[A]The [Am]wind'll [D]whistle as we [G]rattle along,
[D]The cows'll moo in the clover,
[G]The riv[Bm]er wil[E]l ripple out a whi[A]spered song,
[D]And whisper it ove[E]r and ove[A]r:[D]
[Eb]Don't you [Bb]wisht y'd [Eb]go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever
and ud [Fm]never [C]sto[Fm]p
In [Eb]that shiny,
little surrey with the [Fm]fringe on the top!
I can see the stars [Bb]gettin' blurry,
When we drive back home
in the [Eb]surrey,
Drivin' slowly home in the surrey
with [Fm]the fringe on top!
I can feel the [Bb]day gettin' older,
Feel a sleepy head on my [Eb]shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder,
till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin'
on the rim of a hill;
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder.
Hush, you bird, my baby's
a- sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth
a- keepin'
Whoa! you [Eb]team, and jist keep a- creepin' at a slow clip clop.
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!
