My Fish Ran Away By: Tom Seley This is a song about a fish named Rufus and his quest for freedom
My fDish ran away G A My fish ran away Rufus and I were the best of friends I fed him ev-e-ry day…ev-e-ry day
DLiving alone had me seGarchin' for a boaArder DSo I bought him one dayG for three dollars…and a Aquarter DI walked out the pet sGtore on a bright shiny summAer morning DAnd then he left me on a cold darGk day without warAning…take warning!
DMy fish ran away G A My fish ran away Rufus and I were the best of friends I fed him ev-e-ry day…ev-e-ry day
DI don't even know why he wanted toG go [WhatA could have possibly possessed him to go] DI gave him everything that a fish coulGd want…He eveAn told me so DWe used to talk over breakfast, talk aG little more oAver lunch DChew the fat, chitter chat, talk aboutG this and thatA and then such and such
DMy fish ran away G A My fish ran away Rufus and I were the best of friends I fed him ev-e-ry day…ev-e-ry day!
BmThe yearning for freedom strikesG deep in all of our hAearts Saying farewell to the ones we love must be the hardest part He could have at least left a note for me to find Now I'll never know what happened to that good friend of mine (All I know is…)
DMy fish rGan awayA [wailingA] My fish ran away [wailing] My fish ran away [wailing] My fish ran away [wailing]
DMaybe you canG help me witAh this next pAart I have sneaking suspicion that Rufus is out there somewhere And that if we just let him know that he's welcome back at any time The fishbowl is waiting on the counter and we've got some food for him in a half-full thing of fish food (that's not too far past it's expiration date). That maybe, just maybe, if he knows that we all miss him very much He'll return to the fish bowl on the counter and I can bring him to the class and he can the class pet. We'll make him the class pet. We'd even make him the class president. make him the President. Rufus for president!!!
Repeat after me: Rufus come back Rufus come back Swim it on back Swim it on back Take a train if you need to Take a train if you need to We really wanna see you We really wanna see you Sincerely: Yeah, I think it's gonna work.
DMy fish raGn away [AwailingA] My fish ran away [wailing] My fish ran away [wailing] My fish ran away [wailing]
