Melanie - Marvelous Toy


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C G D G

         D
When I was just a little girl
G         D
Full of health and joy
  C         G
One Christmas morning I received
 A7        D
A marvellous little toy
 G      D
A wonder to behold it was
   G      C
With many colours bright
           G
And the moment I laid eyes on it
   A7        D
It became my heart's delight

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


           D
The first time that I picked it up
 G      D
I had a big surprise
    C            G
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
   A7          D
That looked like big green eyes
 G          D
I first pushed one and then the other
  G         C
And then I pushed its lid
         G
And when I set it down again
A7       D
This is what it did:


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


              D
It first marched left, and then marched right
  G         D
And then went under a chair
  C          G
And when I looked where it had gone
  A7     D
It wasn't even there
 G         D
I started to cry, my daddy laughed
  G         C
He knew that I would find
            G
When I turned around my marvellous toy
 A7       D
A-chugging from behind


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


INSTRUMENTAL:  (## same as verse ##)

              D
The years have gone by too quickly it seems
 G         D
I have my own little boy
  C      G
And yesterday I gave to him
  A7        D
My marvellous little toy
  G                  D
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
  G        C
He gave a squeal of glee
                 G
And neither one of us knows just what it is
    A7         D
But he loves it just like me


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