Barenaked Ladies – The Township Of King (Ukulele)

D                                       Bm  A       G
She lived alone in a little home by the Township of King

D                                       Bm     A       G
In the morning she'd feed the birds and listen to them sing

D                                          Bm        A     G
From the woods they flocked to her knowing she would do no harm

D                                      Bm     A       G
Flying over the patchwork quilt of the fields and the farms

C      G          Bm        D
Of the fields and farms, oh yeah

D                          Bm     A      G
Then one day a yellow bird landed on her hand

D                              Bm        A    G
Devoted it sang to her so that she could understand

D                                                 Bm  A         G
It warned of the trucks coming up the road full of concrete and steel

D                                  Bm     A      G
Come to cut down all the trees and pave over the fields

C      G       Bm      D
                    Oh oh

Bm   A        G      D
Come come the sky is grey

Bm   A          E      A
Come come we'll find a way

D                                           Bm     A        G
They will build an amusement park where the forest once did stand

D                                        Bm        A     G
With gypsum build a mountain and they'll call it Wonderland

D                                      Bm         A         G
I will feed you and care for you until you are strong and tall

D                                          Bm   A          G
Then I will climb upon your back and we'll fly away in the fall

C          G   Bm      D
We'll fly away,   fly away

Bm   A        G      D
Come come the sky is grey

Bm   A          E      A
Come come we'll find a way

D                                  Bm       A          G
Then one day they flew away and it was the strangest thing

D                                                Bm    A       G
To watch them all fly as she waved goodbye to the Township of King

C      G           Bm       D
To the Township of King, oh yeah
