Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: C# minorC#m

Difficulty: Intermediate

In the begining the song is played quiter, with every pagarad it gets a bit more involved

Verse:
C# minorC#m          BB
🏷Legend has it that the moss grows on
F# minorF#m          G#G#
The north side of the trees
C# minorC#m
Well, 🏷Legend has it that when the rain comes down

All the worms come up to breathe

C# minorC#m             BB
Well, 🏷Legend has it when the sunbeams come
    F#F#                G#G#
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
C# minorC#m             BB
Well, 🏷Legend has it that the world spins round
   F# minorF#m    G#G#
On an axis of 23 degrees

Chorus:
C# minorC#m
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
F# minorF#m
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
C# minorC#m
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
G#G#                    G#7G#7
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

C# minorC#m
Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
F# minorF#m
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
C# minorC#m
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
G#G#                  G#7G#7
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop


Bridge: (In the original this is almost acapella, so maybe only play bass tones)
C# minorC#m
Come listen, all ye fair maids, to how the moral goes
A augmentedA        G#G#
Nobody knew and nobody knows
C# minorC#m               BB
How the Pobble was robbed of his twice five toes
F# minorF#m              A augmentedA    G#G#
Or how the Dong came to own a luminous nose

C minorCm                  BB
Or how the Jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed
  A augmentedA                      G#G#
And came to shore by the Chankly Bore where the Bong-trees grow
     C# minorC#m            BB
Where the Jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow
    F# minorF#m             A augmentedA      G#G#
And the Quangle Wangle plays in the rain and the snow

Chorus:
C# minorC#m
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
F# minorF#m

C# minorC#m
