Chords with lyrics
Capo 4
A minorAm C majorC A2 E MajorE
A minorAm E7sus4E7sus4
There are watercolour ponies
A minorAm G minorGm C7C7
On my refrigerater door
FF C7C7
And the shape of something
Bm7Bm7 E7E7 A minorAm FF E MajorE
I don't really recognize
A minorAm E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
Drawn by careful little fingers
A minorAm G minorGm C7C7
And put proudly on display
FF C majorC Bm7Bm7
A augmentedA reminder to us all
E7E7 A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
Of how time flies
A minorAm E7sus4E7sus4
Seems an endless mound of laundry
A minorAm G minorGm C7C7
And a stairway laced with toys
FF C7C7
Gives a blow by blow
Bm7Bm7 E7E7 A minorAm FF E MajorE
Reminder of the war
A minorAm E7sus4E7sus4 E7E7
That we fight for their well-being
A minorAm G minorGm C7C7
For their greater understanding
FF Bm7Bm7 E7E7
To impart a holy reverance
A augmentedA
For the Lord
(chorus)
A augmentedA E MajorE
But, baby, what will we do
F#m7F#m7 C#m7C#m7
When it comes back to me an you?
D MajorD A augmentedA
They look a little less
Bm7Bm7 E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
Like little boys every day
A augmentedA
Oh, the pleasure of watching
E MajorE
The children growing
F#m7F#m7 C#m7C#m7
Is mixed with a bitter cup
D MajorD A augmentedA Bm7Bm7
Of knowing the watercolour ponies
D MajorD A augmentedA
Will one day ride away
(bridge)
Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
And the vision can get so narrow
C majorC G+G C majorC
As you view through your tiny world
Gsus4Gsus4 C majorC
And little victories can go by
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
With no applause
A minorAm
But in the greater evaluation
E minor 7Em7
As they fly from your nest of love
FF C majorC
May they mount up with wings
Bm7Bm7 Esus4Esus4 E MajorE Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
As eagles for His cause
Bm7Bm7 D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD
Ponies Will one day OO one day one day
E MajorE A minorAm C majorC Esus4Esus4 E MajorE A minorAm C majorC Esus4Esus4 E MajorE A augmentedA
ride a way OOO
