hide your wings in a ghost tower

sails cackling at every plate we brake
B                                Bb
was cracked by scattered needles
A
the little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
A
madam you see before you stand, hey, ho, never be still

the old original favorite grand grasshoppers green Herbarian band

       Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
G                                        G#
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
A                  D
meant even less to me than I thought
       A                   D
with a honey plough yellow prickly seeds
A                     D              F#7
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed...


          B                     E7
well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border
G        C7
hey, ho, huff the talbot
B                        A

the madcap laughed at the man on the border
B        A
hey, ho, huff the talbot
    B                       A
the winds they blew and the leaves did wag
    B                    A
and they'll never put me in their bag
    B                A
the raging seas will always seep
   B               A
so high you go, so low you creep
    B                A
the wind it blows in tropical heat
    B                     A
the drones they throng on mossy seats
    B                   A
the squeaking door will always squeak
    B                 A
two up, two down will never meet
   B                A
so merrily trip for good my side
