Gordon Lightfoot - The pony man

When it's mid^Gnight on the meadow and the c^Cats are in the sh^Ged And the river tells a st^Cory at the win^Ddow by my b^D7ed If you li^Gsten very closely be as qu^Ciet as you c^Gan In the yard you'll h^Cear him it ^Dis the pony m^Gan.

We're al^Gways there to greet him when he tum^Cbles into t^Gown He leads a string of po^Cnies some are wh^Dite and some are br^D7own And they ne^Gver seem to kick or bite they on^Cly want to p^Glay And they live on candy ap^Cples ins^Dtead of oats and h^Gay.

And wh^Gen we're all assembled he gi^Cves a soft com^Gmand And we climb aboard our pon^Cies as ^Din a row they st^D7and Then do^Gwn the road we gallop and acr^Coss the fields we f^Gly And soon we all go sai^Cling off in^Dto the midnight s^Gky.

And ^Gas we gaily rock along be^Cside a ripplin' s^Gea There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sa^Clly and M^Dary Joe and ^D7me And the po^Gny man is leading cause he's trav^Celled here be^Gfore And he gives a whoop and a hol^Cler at ^DMr. Moon's front do^Gor.

And ^Gas we stop to rest a while where the so^Cda river gli^Gdes Up to the slip comes a pir^Cate ship to t^Dake us for a r^D7ide And the p^Gony man's the captain and the chi^Cldren are the c^Grew And we go in search of tre^Casure and la^Dugh the whole night th^Grough.

And w^Ghen the hold is filled with gold and the sa^Cils begin to st^Grain And the deck's piled high with ap^Cple pie we h^Dead for port ag^D7ain And d^Gown the whirling staircase so sw^Cift our ponies f^Gly And we're safely in our b^Ceds again w^Dhen the sunbeams kiss the s^Gky.
