[Intro]
Am D Am G Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am C Am
I wish I could find a queer street
D Am
The crooked queer street that goes
Am C G C G
East of the sun and West of the moon
Am
And out where no wind blows
C G Am
Then, I'd find the shop where the seller of stars
G Am
Sits and hammers behind the bars
 
[Verse 2]
Am C Am
Stars he gives for the asking
D Am
Starlight swords for the bold
Am C G C G
Moons he sells for a penny or two
Am
Rounded and bright with gold
C G Am
And broken silver of the sea he sells
G Am
And the rain spears and the wind bells
 
[Verse 3]
Am C Am
Wings he weaves for the fairies
D Am
Gold of the sun you can buy
Am C G C G
And silver flowers of frost and dew
Am
Rainbows out of the sky
C G Am
And delicate morning mist he sells
G Am
And pretty new songs for whispering shells
 
[Verse 4]
Am C Am
Oh, if I could find the dear street
D Am
The darling wee street with his house
Am C G C G
I would buy a blackbird's whistle for you
Am
And for Johnny a talking mouse
C G Am
And a mermaid's tail to swim in the sea
G Am
And dragonfly wings for my Mummy and me
 
[Verse 5]
Am C Am
I wish I could find the wee street
D Am
That wanders up and down
Am C G C G
East of the sun and West of the moon
Am
And very near twilight town
C G Am
Where the seller of stars for a penny or two
G Am
Will sell your heart's desire to you
