{c: }
[G] When it's midnight on the meadow and the [C] cats are in the [G] shed
And the river tells a [C] story at the [D] window by my [D7] bed
If you [G] listen very closely be as [C] quiet as you [G] can
In the yard you'll [C] hear him it [D] is the pony [G] man.
We're [G] always there to greet him when he [C] tumbles into [G] town
He leads a string of [C] ponies some are [D] white and some are [D7] brown
And they [G] never seem to kick or bite they [C] only want to[G] play
And they live on candy [C] apples in-[D]stead of oats and [G] hay.
And [G] when we're all assembled he [C] gives a soft [G] command
And we climb aboard our [C] ponies as [D] in a row they [D7] stand
Then [G] down the road we gallop and a-[C]cross the fields we [G] fly
And soon we all go [C] sailing off in-[D]to the midnight [G] sky.
And [G] as we gaily rock along be-[C]side a ripplin' [G] sea
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n [C] Sally and [D] Mary Joe and [D7] me
And the [G] pony man is leading cause he's [C] travelled here be-[G]fore
And he gives a whoop and a [C] holler at [D] Mr. Moon's front [G] door.
And [G] as we stop to rest a while where the [C] soda river [G] glides
Up to the slip comes a [C] pirate ship to [D] take us for a [D7] ride
And the [G] pony man's the captain and the [C] children are the [G] crew
And we go in search of [C] treasure and [D] laugh the whole night [G] through.
And [G] when the hold is filled with gold and the [C] sails begin to [G] strain
And the deck's piled high with [C] apple pie we [D] head for port a-[D7]gain
And [G] down the whirling staircase so [C] swift our ponies [G] fly
And we're safely in our [C] beds again, when the [D] sunbeams kiss the [G] sky.
[G] When it's midnight on the meadow and the [C] cats are in the [G] shed
And the river tells a [C] story at the [D] window by my [D7] bed
If you [G] listen very closely be as [C] quiet as you [G] can
In the yard you'll [C] hear him it [D] is the pony [G] man.
