Gordon Lightfoot - The pony man

When it's mid^Fnight on the meadow and the c^Fats are in the sh^Fed And the river tells a st^Fory at the win^Gdow by my b^G7ed If you li^Fsten very closely be as qu^Fiet as you c^Fan In the yard you'll h^Fear him it ^Gis the pony m^Fan.

We're al^Fways there to greet him when he tum^Fbles into t^Fown He leads a string of po^Fnies some are wh^Gite and some are br^G7own And they ne^Fver seem to kick or bite they on^Fly want to p^Flay And they live on candy ap^Fples ins^Gtead of oats and h^Fay.

And wh^Fen we're all assembled he gi^Fves a soft com^Fmand And we climb aboard our pon^Fies as ^Gin a row they st^G7and Then do^Fwn the road we gallop and acr^Foss the fields we f^Fly And soon we all go sai^Fling off in^Gto the midnight s^Fky.

And ^Fas we gaily rock along be^Fside a ripplin' s^Fea There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sa^Flly and M^Gary Joe and ^G7me And the po^Fny man is leading cause he's trav^Felled here be^Ffore And he gives a whoop and a hol^Fler at ^GMr. Moon's front do^For.

And ^Fas we stop to rest a while where the so^Fda river gli^Fdes Up to the slip comes a pir^Fate ship to t^Gake us for a r^G7ide And the p^Fony man's the captain and the chi^Fldren are the c^Frew And we go in search of tre^Fasure and la^Gugh the whole night th^Frough.

And w^Fhen the hold is filled with gold and the sa^Fils begin to st^Frain And the deck's piled high with ap^Fple pie we h^Gead for port ag^G7ain And d^Fown the whirling staircase so sw^Fift our ponies f^Fly And we're safely in our b^Feds again w^Ghen the sunbeams kiss the s^Fky.
