Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I tak[G]e you[D] out ton[A]ight with me[B]
Honey, [E]here's the [B]way it's [E]gonna [Ab]be
You will [C#]sit beh[Ab]ind [Gb]a team
[Bbm]of sno[Am]w- white hor[Bb]ses[C]
[D]In the slickest gig you'll [Am]ever [C]see[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Chicks and [C]ducks and
[G]geese better [Am]scurry
[G]When I [C]take you [G]out in the [Am]surrey
[G]When I [Am]take [D]you out in the surrey
[Em]With the [D]fringe [A]on top[Am][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Watch that [C]fringe and [G]see how it [C]flutters
[G]When I [C]drive them [G]high
[Am]steppin' [G]strutters
Nosy folk[Am]s,
they'll [G]peek [D]through [G]the shutters
[Em]And [A]their eyes will [Am]pop[D]

[Verse 4]
The [G]wheels are yellow,
[C]the up[Am]holstery's brown
[Dm]The [G]dashboard's genuine [C]leather
With [Em]Isinglass [A]curtains
you can [D]roll right [Bm]down
In [Em]case there's a [A]change in
[Am]the weather[Dm][Dsus4]

[Verse 5]
[G]Two bright [Am]side [Dsus4]lights
[G]winkin' and [Dsus4]blinkin'
[G]Ain't no [Am]finer [D]rig I'm a thi[Dsus4]nkin'
[G]You can [Am]keep your [G]rig [D]if you're thinkin'
That [Am]I'd care [B]to s[F]wap
For that [B]shiny [Bm]little [E]surrey with
[Am]the fringe on [D]the top
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Now [D]would [G]you say that
[D]fringe was [G]made of [B]silk?
I wouldn't [E]have no [B]other [E]kind [Ab]but silk
Has it [C#]really [Ab]got a [F#]team of [F]snow-
[Dm]whit[F]e hors[Bb]es?[C]
[D]One's like snow,
[G]the[A] other'[D]s mor[G]e lik[Asus4]e milk[A][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Now [D]I ca[G]n see the stars
[Dsus4]gettin' blurry
[G]When we ride back home [D]in the surrey
[G]Ridin' [Am]slowly [G]home [D]in the surrey
[Em]With the [Asus4]fringe on[A] top[Am][C][D]

[Verse 8]
[G]I can f[C]eel the d[G]ay gettin' o[Am]lder
[G]Feel a [C]sleepy [G]head near my [Am]shoulder
[G]Noddin', [Am]droopin', [G]close [D]to my shoulder
[Em]'Til it [D]falls, [A]ker[Am]plop[D]!

[Verse 9]
[G]The sun is swimming on the [C]rim of a [Am]hill
The [Dm]moon [G]is taking a [C]header
[G]And jus[Em]t when I'm thi[A]nkin'
all the [D]earth is [Bm]still
A [Em]lark wakes [A]up in [Am]the m[D]eader

[Verse 10]
[G]Hush, you [D]bird,
my [Em]baby's [D]a- sleepin'
[G]Maybe [D]got a [Em]dream worth a- [D]keepin'
[G]Whoa, you [D]team, just [Em]keep on a- [G]creepin'
At [C]a slow [Em]clip, [F]clop
Don't you [Bm]hurry little [E]surrey with
[Am]the fringe on [D]the [G]top[Am]
[G][D][Am][D]
