{c: a bit simplified }
[G] Chicks and [D] ducks and [G] geese better [D] scurry
[G] When I [D] take ya [G] out in the [D] surrey
[G] When I [D] take ya [G] out in the [D] surrey
With the [A] fringe on [D] top
[G] Watch that [D] fringe and [G] see how it [D] flutters
[G] When I [D] drive them [G] high steppin' [D] strutters
[G] Nosey [D] pokes'll [G] peek thru their [D] shutters
And their [A7] eyes'll [D7] pop
The [G7] wheels are yellow, the [C] upholstery's [A] brown
The [G] dashboard's genuine [C] leather
With [A7] isinglass curtains y' can [D] roll right down
In [A7] case there's a change in the [D7] wea-[G7]ther
[G] Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'
[G] Ain't no [D] finer rig I'm a thinkin'
[G] You can [D] keep your [G] rig if you're thinkin'
That I'd [C] care t' [Am] swap
For that [D] shiny little surrey
With the [Am] fringe [D] on the [G] top
[G] All the world'll fly in a flurry
[G] When I take you out in the surrey
[G] When I take you out in the surrey
With the [E7] fringe [A] on [D] top
[G] When we [D] hit that [G] road hell for [D] leather
[G] Cats and [D] dogs'll [G] dance in the [D] heather
[G] Birds and [D] frogs'll [G] sing all to-[D]gether
[E7] And the [A] toads will [D7] hop
{np}
The [G] wind 'll whistle as we [C] rattle a-[A]long,
The [G] cows 'll moo in the [C] clover.
The [A7] river will ripple out a [D] whispered song,
And [A7] whisper it over and [D7] over.
{c: first 3 line - really soft now}
[G] Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?
[G] Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?
[G] Don't you [D] wisht it'd [G] go on [D] forever,
(louder) And it'd [C] never [A] stop?
In that [D] shiny little surrey
With the [D7] fringe [D] on the [G] top [C] [G]
{c: Softly and slower from now on)
[G] I can [D] see the [G] stars gettin' [D] blurry
[G] When we [D] ride back [G] home in the [D] surrey
[G] Riding [D] slowly [G] home in the [D] surrey
With the [A] fringe on [D7] top
[G] I can [D] feel the [G] day gettin' [D] older
[G] Feel a [D] sleepy head [G] near my [D] shoulder
[G] Noddin', [D] droopin' [G] close to my [D] shoulder
'Til it [C] falls ker-[D7] plop
The [G7] sun is swimmin' on the [C] rim of a [A] hill
The [G] moon is takin' a [C] header
And [A7] just as I'm thinkin' all the [D] earth is still
A [Em7] lark wakes [A7] up in the [D7] meader
[G] Hush you [D] bird my [G] baby's a [D] sleepin'
[G] Maybe [D] got a [G] dream worth a [D] keepin'
[G] Whoa you [D] team, and [G] just keep a [D] creepin'
At a [C] slow [Bm] clip-[A] clop
Don't you [G] hurry with the [Dm] surrey
With the [Am] fringe [D7] on the [G] top
