🎸 Verse:
         C                   C7
Past the fourth turn, by the barn
          F                             Fm
Where Mrs Fullman lived till she passed on
C                         A7
There is a cottage by the lakeside
      D7                  G    G7
Where fairies come out at night



          C                C7
There’s a music box in the bedroom
             F          Bb7
It’s playing songs from 1922
           C               A7
And if you listen for long enough
       D7                         G  G7
You’ll fall asleep and might wake up

🎸 Chorus:
C
Walking in a wonderland
C
Played in by a marching band
F                            Fm
Reaching for a peach, from a shiny purple tree

  C
A butterfly the size of you offers to go flying with you
F                             Fm         C
Climb onto her back, and doze off as you relax

🎸 Verse:
         C                C7
Past the light post by the sea
           F               Fm
There is a forest, with no trees
           C               A7
There is a garden, by the wayside
      D7               G     G7
Where flowers grow overnight

          C                C7
There’s a music box in the bay
            F                  Bb7
down on the sea bed not so far away
           C            A7
and if you lean in just close enough
          D7                           G      G7
you’ll be taken by the water and might wake up

🎸 Chorus:
C
Walking in a wonderland
C
Played in by the singing sand
F                          Fm
Waking from a dream, on an underwater beach

  C
A manta ray the brightest blue, offers to go flying with you
F                              Fm         C
Lay down on her back, and doze off as you relax

🎸 Verse:
        C              C7
All the places in your dreams,
         F            Fm
are they fiction or a memory
       C               A7
If you listen for long enough,
            F     Fm
you’ll fall asleep...
