It's a fairly complex song on harp, so here's a nice and easy baby version for Guitar in C!
CI slept all day
Asus2awoke with Amdistaste
Cand I railed,
Asus2and I raAmved
FThat the difference between
D7the sprout and the bean
Fis a golden ring,
Dit is a twisted string.
FAnd you can ask the counsellor;
D7you can ask the king;
Fand they'll say the same thing;
Dand it's a funny thing:
FShould we go outside?
DShould we go outside?
FShould we break some bread?
DAre y'interested?
CAnd as I said,
Asus2I slept as thoughAm dead
Cdreaming seamless dreams
Asus2of leadAm.
FWhen you go away,
D7I am big-boned and fey
Fin the dust of the day,
Din the dirt of the day.
Fand Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
D7and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
FAnd the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
Dand the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,
Fwho know th'outside!
D7Should we go outside?
FShould we break some bread?
DAre y'interested?
