The Goose And The Wren taby ukulele według Hop Along

F, C, Bb, F x2
F
While in form of the ant
      C
The goose and the wren
           Bb
Left the shores of Maryland
    F
To find better oxygen
            F
While the outcry of twenty men
               C
Run from the nearby battalion
          Bb
As if we avoid their light
               F
That we might make it home tonight
     F
And one old crook
                C
Carries a very heavy book
                   Bb
Friends would say 'Sir

Are you sure some good
      F
Could come of your learning?'
             F
And he said 'My girl gave it to me
                C
Just before the war
                   Bb
I've never read a book like this before
                F
It's giving me kind of a kind of a burning
     C                                                 F
But if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it
          C                                           F
But I've heard it's a part of the whole so I guess I need it
          C                                     F
But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground
          C                                        F
Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me down

F
Here lie one hundred men
                C
Fighters every one of them

           Bb
They went into the light and oh no
      F
They won't be home tonight

And I came upon a kid with a kite
                               C
Despite the storm said he's gonna fly
             Bb
So I said 'Brother
                           F
What would your mother say?'

And he said 'Hold your tongue!
             C
It was a present
      Bb
And God damn I am a man
                     F
I ain't afraid of the rain!'
    C                     F
But what can a bystander do?
   C                                          F
No more than watch the spidery lights take a hold of you
               C
But you know I warned you boy

You know I told you boy
               F
I'll hold you back boy

But now I don't know boy
              C
Cause in a curious kind of way
                      F
I want to grow along with you

     C
And morning did come

I was standing struck dumb
       F
By the man in the sun
     
And the only live one
         C
Held a string from his thumb

That stretched up to the sky
            F
Where the heron flew by

Singing 'Oh me and oh my!'
         C
And the goose and the wren

No I have not seen them
         F
But the water looks nice

So I dare not think twice
         C
And I'm sure that they're fine
                              
Very good friends of mine
          F
Cause sometimes I can't tell
 
When things are unwell

        C
By the look of the sea

Starting straight back at me
       F
And I miss 'em I do

But I think it is true
      C
That when the love go

It's the lovers who show
           F
Just how lonely they are

In a song or a scar

    C
Sincerely your friend

Write back to me, Wren
             F
I've been thinking too much

Down here in the sand

F                                    Bb
The farmer stands and says 'What happened to the land?
                C                                        F
It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad.'
