Autumn To May (Peter, Paul, & Mary)

G            D               G            C
Once I had a little dog, his color it was brown.
  G                 D           G                  C
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
    D                  G          D         D
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide.
 D                  G      D            G       D
Around the world in half a day upon him I could ride.
D    G       C    D    G         D
Sing tarry-o-day, sing autumn to May.

G            D               G              C
Once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red.
     G           D            G              C
He'd lean upon a silver cane, top hat on his head.
     D                G  D       D
He'd speak of far-off places, of things to see and do,
    D                 G           D         D       G    D
And all the kings and queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe.
D    G       C    D    G         D
Sing tarry-o-day, sing autumn to May.

G            D                    G             C
Once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather.
    G              D              G             C
I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather.
    D             G         D            D
And every day the sun would shine they'd fly all through the town
   D                  G      D      D     G      D
To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.

 D    G       C    D    G         D
Sing tarry-o-day, sing autumn to May.

G            D               G           C
Once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail.
    G           D                G                C
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail.
    D                 G    D         D
The snail it turned into a bird, the bird to butterfly,
    D              G      D          D       G      D
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
D    G       C    D    G         D
Sing tarry-o-day, sing autumn to May.
