Autumn To May

F Em F G Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown F Em F G I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run C Am Em C Am His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide C Am Em F G Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride. C F G Am F G Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May. F Em F G Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red F Em F G He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head C Am C Am He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do, C Am Em F G Of all the Kings and Queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe. C F G Am F G Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May. F Em F G Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather F Em F G I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather C Am Em C Am And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town C Am Em F G To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound. C F G Am F G Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May. F Em F G Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail F Em F G She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail C Am Em C Am The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly C Am Em F G And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie. C F G Am F G Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May.
