Chords with lyrics
Will Young performed the version of this song heard in the film Mrs.Henderson Presents,
I believe it was actually written by Jack Scholl, Bradford Browne, and Max Rich.
I copied the lyrics from SweetLyrics.com
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
There's a lake in the park, there's a house by the lake;
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
There's a girl in the house in the park by the lake;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
And the girl in the house by the lake in the park
FF G+G C majorC
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And tonight after eight, that's when I've got a date;
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
When the moon's riding high and the stars light the sky;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
With the girl in the house by the lake in the park;
FF G+G C majorC
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB
There's no water in the lake, there's no roof upon the house;
E MajorE BB E MajorE
No trees-es in the park at all;
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
But I'll wait beside the lake, I'll be welcome at the house;
G+G D MajorD G+G
I'll meet her by the garden wall.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
There's a ship on the lake, There's a sailor on the shore;
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
There's a girl in his arms, she's the girl I adore;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
So goodbye to the house by the lake in the park;
FF G+G C majorC
And the Girl In The Little Green Hat.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
There's a storm on the lake, there's a ship in the storm;
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
There's a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
And the girl on the lake on the ship in the storm
FF G+G C majorC
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
As the ship starts to dip, she is losing her grip;
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
Every dip makes her tip, not the girl, but the ship;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
But the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip;
FF G+G C majorC
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB
She's been sailing quite enough, she's been clinging to the rails;
E MajorE BB E MajorE
She's dying to be home once more;
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
'Cause the lake is rather rough, And the girl is rather pale;
G+G D MajorD G+G
She's glad to get her feet on shore.
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Ah, she gave up the ship, And the captain and his men
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
For a round ticket trip to my arms once again;
DmDm FF C majorC G+G
Now I'm back in the park at the house by the lake;
FF G+G C majorC
With The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
Cheers, and good luck.
