Intro: D G A 

--First Verse Single Strum Chords-- 

|D    G           |D        G 
Three, is a magic number, 
       |D  G              |D        G| 
Yes it is,   it's a magic number. 
|D               G               |D        G 
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity 
        |D   G           |D        G| 
You get three as a magic number. 

--Strumming-- 
|D                           G           | 
The past and the present and the future. 
|D                 G       | 
Faith and Hope and Charity, 
|D                              G 
The heart and the brain and the body 
         |D     G          |D    G |  
Give you three, as a magic number. 

|D                     G 
It takes three legs to make a tri-pod 
      |D           G      | 
Or to make a table stand. 
|D                       G              | 
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle 
|D            G   | 
Called a tricycle. 

|D             G                  | 
Every triangle has three corners, 
|D             G                  
Every triangle has three sides, 
   |D                G   
No more, no less. 
          |D              G   
You don't have to guess. 
          |D                G 
When it's three you can see 
             |D       G| 
It's a magic number. 


|D                G              D   G| 
A man and a woman had a little baby, 
          |D   G 
Yes, they did. 
         |D           G      |D   G 
They had three in the family, 
                   |D       G|D   G| 
And that's a magic number.

|D                   G                           | 
(Spoken) multiply backwards from three times ten 

|D                G      |D                  G   | 
Three time ten is 30,    three times nine is 27, 
|D                   G   |D                   G  | 
Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21, 
|D                 G     |D                  G   | 
Three times six is 18,   three times five is 15, 
|D                  G   
Three times four is 12,  
                |Bm             A                  |G  
And three times three is 9, and three times two is 6, 
E               |A 
And three times one is three of course. 

|                                         | 
(Spoken) Now take the pattern once more

|D                   G                    | 
(Spoken) now multiply from ten backwards 


|D                G      |D                  G   | 
Three time ten is 30,     three times nine is 27,

Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21,

Three times four is 12,  
                |Bm             A                  |G  
And three times three is 9, and three times two is 6, 
E               |A               | 
And three times one (what is it?)   
       |D     G          |D    G     |D   G| 
THREE! Yeah!,   Thatâ??s a magic number

There were three in the family.
