(capo on 3rd fret)

G      Em      Am
Listen while I tell you
         D         G
tales to warm your mind.
G     Em    Am
Stop, look, listen!
         D       G
See what you can find.


    B7       Em
An orangutan who can sing?
   B7            Em
A traffic warden on a swing.
B7               Em
Now a horse that learns to fly
Am              D
Don't know how, don't know why.


G      Em      Am
Listen while I tell you
         D         G
tales to warm your mind.
G     Em    Am
Stop, look, listen!
         D       G
See what you can find.


B7             Em
Buy a car with licorice wheels,
B7            Em
driven by two jellied eels,
B7                 Em
but don't drive it at full pelt,
Am                D
all the chocolate tyres will melt.


G      Em      Am
Listen while I tell you
         D         G
tales to warm your mind.
G     Em    Am
Stop, look, listen!
         D       G
See what you can find.


 
       B7                Em
Do you know that smiling in your sleep
B7                    Em
means there's secrets that you keep,
B7              Em
locked in boxes in your head.
Am                 D
Wise men find them when you're dead.


G      Em      Am
Listen while I tell you
         D         G
tales to warm your mind.
G     Em    Am
Stop, look, listen!
         D       G
See what you can find.
G     Em    Am
Stop, look, listen!
