Swinging On A Star Ukulele chords by Bing Crosby

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Chorus:
          A7                 D7
Would you like to swing on a star,
      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?
                         C
Or would you rather be a mule?


Verse 1:
  C          F           C          F
A mule is an animal with long funny ears.
   C           F           C    Am7
He kicks up at anything he hears.
    D7                     G
His back is brawny but his brain is weak.
     Am7        D7            G        G7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.
           C           F             C     A7  Dm7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
             G7         C
You may grow up to be a mule.

Chorus:
          A7                 D7
Or would you like to swing on a star,
      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?
                         C
Or would you rather be a pig?


Verse 2:
  C         F           C           F
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face.
    C           F        C       Am7
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
   D7                     G
He has no manners when he eats his food.
     Am7     D7       G         G7
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude.
           C            F            C   A7  Dm7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
             G7         C
You may grow up to be a pig.


Chorus:
          A7                 D7
Or would you like to swing on a star,
      G                   C
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
       A7                  D7   G7
And be better off than you are?
                         C
Or would you rather be a fish?


Verse 3:
  C             F            C         F
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook.
   C               F              C    Am7
He can't write his name or read a book.
   D7                     G
To fool the people is his only thought,
    Am7         D7           G          G7
and though he's slippery, he still gets caught.
            C            F                C   A7  Dm7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,
             G7         C
You may grow up to be a fish.


Outro:
            A7                    D7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo;
      G                    C
Every day you meet quite a few.
        A7                  D7   G7
So, you see, it's all up to you.
                           C   D7
You can be better than you are.
             G7            C
You could be swingin' on a star!
