Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C#m

Difficulty: Intermediate

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

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

All the worms come up to breathe

C#m                          B
Well, legend has it when the sunbeams come
        F#                               G#
All the plants, they eat them with their leaves
C#m                          B
Well, legend has it that the world spins round
      F#m        G#
On an axis of 23 degrees
Chorus:
C#m
But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon?
F#m
Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
C#m
Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
G#                                        G#7
And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

C#m
Well, we can all learn things, both many and a-few
F#m
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
C#m
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
G#                                   G#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#m
Come listen, all ye fair maids, to how the moral goes
A               G#
Nobody knew and nobody knows
C#m                              B
How the Pobble was robbed of his twice five toes
F#m                           A        G#
Or how the Dong came to own a luminous nose

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


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

C#m

F#m
From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
C#m
Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
G#                                   G#7
Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop

C#m                          B
Well, legend has it that the world spins round
      F#m        G#
