Peter, Paul and Mary - Leatherwing bat

^Am"Hi," said the little leatherwing bat, "I'll ^Dtell you the ^Crea^Dson ^Amthat, The reason that I ^Dmfly by night, Is b^Emecause I lost my ^Amheart's delight."

^AmHowdy dowdy ^Cdiddle um-day, ^DHowdy dowdy d^Ciddle ^Dum-^Amday, H^Amowdy dowdy ^Dmdiddle um-day, Hey li-^Emlee lee-lye^Am li-lo.

^Am"Hi," said the blackbird, sitting on a chair, "^DOnce I courted a ^Clad^Dy f^Amair, She proved fickle and ^Dmturned her back, And ^Emever since then I've ^Amdressed in black."

^Am"Hi," said the woodpecker, sitting on a fence, ^D"Once I courted a ^Chand^Dsome ^Amwench, She got scared and ^Dmfrom me fled, And ^Emever since then my ^Amhead's been red."

^Am"Hi," said the little turtle dove, "I'll ^Dtell you how to ^Cwin ^Dher ^Amlove, Court her night and c^Dmourt her day, Ne^Emver give her time to ^Amsay 'go away'."

^Am"Hi," said the bluejay and away he flew, "If ^DI were a young man I^C'd ^Dhave ^Amtwo, If one were faithless and ^Dmchanced to go, I'd ^Emhave the other stringed t^Amo my bow."
