Calvin And Hobbes chords by JJ Heller

• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 Verse 1:
   C           Am7         F
We made up the rules as we went
C              F           D7         G
That's how the bulk of the summer was spent
Em             Am       D
Wading through heather, lazing on limbs
F           C       Am       G
Wasting the day any way on a whim


🎸 Verse 2:
C      Am7          F
Nobody saw him like me
  C           F             D7         G
A real jungle cat, not just fabric and string
Em         Am     D
Muscle and fiber, rustling fur
F           C        Am         G
It's all so hazy now I can't be sure

🎸 Chorus 1:
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger
             C            Em    Am
Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer
    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend
        F           G   G7 C
I don't know but he was my friend


🎸 Verse 3:
     C           Am7        F
He'd wait by the door after school
C             F             D7           G
I'd come home whistling and next thing I knew
        Em       Am        D
We were tumbling backward, hunter and prey
F             C            Am            G
Still nice to know someone missed me all day


🎸 Chorus 2:
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger
           C         Em        Am
Partner in crime and trusted advisor
    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend
        F           G   G7 C
I don't know but he was my friend


🎸 Bridge:
C7               F      Fm
   So what was a memory
               C
And what was a dream
    D7                      D
And what would it matter if it's all the latter
   Dm                   G
It still was the whole world to me


🎸 Verse 4:
C             Am7          F
I thought I'd lost him one night
C              F           D7           G
Mom called his name and my dad held the light
       Em          Am     D
But he finally got found, asleep on the ground
  F               C            Am          G
I still taste the tears when I think of it now


🎸 Chorus 3:
         F        G
Was he a toy or a tiger
             C            Em    Am
Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer
    C7         F       G        Em   A7
And was it all real or did I pretend
      F          G
All I know is he was my
F                     Fm
Tender and toothsome, water balloon-some
C                     C7
Fly to the moon-some, Sunday cartoon-some
F
Real or pretend
   G   G7 C
He was my friend
