I asked the ice it would not say 
    D/A              C/G 
But only cracked or moved away 
    D/A              C/G 
I thought I knew me yesterday 
   D/A             C/G

Who'll buy me a mynah bird

Play me a magic word

Speak of hopes with thoughts absurd 
 D/A              C/G 
Thoughts floating by

Little ducks, pretty birds

Clouds across the sky

Gipsy rover in a magic land

 Am                      E 
Peacocks talking of the colour grey 
  Am                E 
Awaking soundly in darkest day 
   Bm                   C/G 
A howling tempest on a silent sea

Am                  E 
Silver castles and silver halls 
 Bm                     C/G 
Taking lessons from the piper's son

Boys and girls come out to play

The moon doth shine as bright as day 
 G                        
Leave your sorrows and leave your sleep 
     D                    G 
And join your playfellows in the street 
D/A           
Come with a whoop or come with a call 
 A                      D/A 
Come with a goodwill or not at all 
D/A 
Up the ladder and down the wall 
  A                   D/A 
A ha'penny loaf will serve for all
