Melanie - Marvelous Toy


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

         D MajorD
When I was just a little girl
G+G         D MajorD
Full of health and joy
  C majorC         G+G
One Christmas morning I received
 A7A7        D MajorD
A augmentedA marvellous little toy
 G+G      D MajorD
A augmentedA wonder to behold it was
   G+G      C majorC
With many colours bright
           G+G
And the moment I laid eyes on it
   A7A7        D MajorD
It became my heart's delight

CHORUS:
     G+G
It went "Zip" when it moved
 D MajorD
"Pop" when it stopped
 G+G          C majorC
"Whirr" when it stood still
         G+G
I never knew just what it was
   D MajorD       G+G   C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I guess I never will


           D MajorD
The first time that I picked it up
 G+G      D MajorD
I had a big surprise
    C majorC            G+G
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
   A7A7          D MajorD
That looked like big green eyes
 G+G          D MajorD
I first pushed one and then the other
  G+G         C majorC
And then I pushed its lid
         G+G
And when I set it down again
A7A7       D MajorD
This is what it did:

CHORUS:
     G+G
It went "Zip" when it moved
 D MajorD
"Pop" when it stopped
 G+G          C majorC
"Whirr" when it stood still
         G+G
I never knew just what it was
   D MajorD       G+G   C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I guess I never will


              D MajorD
It first marched left, and then marched right
  G+G         D MajorD
And then went under a chair
  C majorC          G+G
And when I looked where it had gone
  A7A7     D MajorD
It wasn't even there
 G+G         D MajorD
I started to cry, my daddy laughed
  G+G         C majorC
He knew that I would find
            G+G
When I turned around my marvellous toy
 A7A7       D MajorD
A-chugging from behind


CHORUS:
     G+G
It went "Zip" when it moved
 D MajorD
"Pop" when it stopped
 G+G          C majorC
"Whirr" when it stood still
         G+G
I never knew just what it was
   D MajorD       G+G   C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And I guess I never will


INSTRUMENTAL:  (## same as verse ##)
        D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G A7A7 D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G A7A7 G+G


              D MajorD
The years have gone by too quickly it seems
 G+G         D MajorD
I have my own little boy
  C majorC      G+G
And yesterday I gave to him
  A7A7        D MajorD
My marvellous little toy
  G+G                  D MajorD
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
  G+G        C majorC
He gave a squeal of glee
                 G+G
And neither one of us knows just what it is
    A7A7         D MajorD
But he loves it just like me


CHORUS:
        G+G
It still goes "Zip" when it moves
 D MajorD
"Pop" when it stops
 G+G           C majorC
"Whirr" when it stands still
         G+G
I never knew just what it was
   D MajorD       G+G
And I guess I never will
 C majorC        G+G
I never knew just what it was
   D MajorD       G+G   C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
