Verse 1:

D           G           C
Down on the carpet, you shall kneel,
Am              Em          C       D
While the green grass grows at your feet.
D           G             C
   Stand up straight, and choose the one you love -
    Am         Em      C  D        D
And choose the one you love.

If wishes were horses and beggars could ride,
Am              Em       C         D
I'd be over the sea with you at my side.
D                 G          C
And if "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans
Am            Em         C     D
There'd be no work for a traveler.

Verse 2:

D      G          C
Up all night, and running through the town -
Am              Em          C       D
Upstairs and downstairs, in my nightgown.
D               G                C
Peering through the windows, And crying through the locks,
Am           Em               C       D
"Where is my sweetheart, it's eight o'clock!"

D        G      C
Lavender green, lavender blue
Am          Em  C        D
If you love me, I'll love you.
D               G         C
  I'd skip over ocean and dance over sea,
        Am           Em    C           D
All the birds in the world can't catch me

Am     Em      C     D
Ah hah a hah a haa-i-ah
Am     Em      C      D
