There once was a boy
F#m C#m
Who lived in a house

And the house sat under a tree

By the tree ran a fence that stretched far and wide
A E A
Round the gated community
[Refrão]

Can I have my ball?
C#m
Can you get my ball?
F#m C#m F#m
I kicked it into the tree

And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in
