[Verse]
Dm
Come gather 'round folks and a story I'll tell
C
About a girl who tripped through the bottom of a well
Bb
Woke up in a dream with a curious habit
A7
Chasing a little white rabbit
Dm
Well, she landed with a thump by the field mouse door
C
Said, "This don't look like Kentucky anymore"
Bb
Knocked three times and her mind swung open
A7
Alice had awoken
[Chorus]
G F
So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
Dm D
Lost in a backwoods Wonderland
G
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
A7 Dm Dm D
Where'd you come from, Alice, why'd you gooooo-oo-oo?
[Verse]
Dm
Then the old snappin' turtle peeked out of his shell
C
Said, "Little girl, you don't look too well
Bb
Take a little swig and a little bitty swallow
A7
You'll feel three times smaller"
Dm
Then the glow-worm sittin' on the caterpillar tractor
C
Gave her a smoke of some strange tobacco
Bb
The doodle bug said, "Girl, you can't go back there
A7
You'll be ours forever after"
[Chorus]
G F
So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
Dm D
Lost in a backwoods Wonderland
G
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
A7
Where'd you come from, Alice, why'd you gooooo?
[Instumental]
G Dm G A7 A7
[Break]
G
Little piece of cornbread, swallow it down
F
'Til you're ten feet high up above the ground
Eb
All the king's horse, mules and men
A
Can't bring little Alice back down again
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
Now it's sassafras tea with an old mad hatter
C
Went up through the well, grew a jack-vine ladder
Bb
She climbed like the devil when the devil came after her
A7
He was fast but she was faster
[Chorus]
G F
Now she's sittin' on the porch with her ma and pa
Dm
Tryin' to make sense of the things she saw
G
Can't wait to wander back to Wonderland
A7 A
Go trippin' through the bluegrass once again
G F
Danced all night with a bottle in her hand
Dm D
Lost in a backwoods Wonderland
G
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
A
Where'd you come from, Alice, why'd you gooooo?
[Outro]
D
Alice in the bluegrass

Little Alice in the bluegrass
