[Intro]

B     E7     G     C7     A

[Verse]

B              E7          G           C7
Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word
B                       A
Trip, trip to a dream dragon
B                                A
Hide your wings in a ghost tower
B                                A
Sails cackling at every plate we break
B                                       Bb
What was cracked by scattered needles
A
The little minute gong coughs and clears his throat

Madam you see before you stand
A
Hey ho, never be still

The old original favorite grand
A
Grasshoppers green Herbarian band
                                              F#7
And the tune they play is "In Us Confide"
B                 E7           G                   C7
So trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro
A
You have no word

[Chorus]

F#                   B
Please leave us here
F#               B                 B7       E
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

[Verse]

E            F              F#        G
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
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 plow of 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
Cheat he cried shouting kangaroo
B                                    A
So true in their tree they cried

[Chorus]
