      G      D7       G     D7         E
      When I take you out tonight with me,

      E     B7         E        B7    C#
      Honey here's the way it's gonna be.

      C#     G#7   C#     G#7     A#   F     A# F7
      You'll set behind a team of snow white horses,

      G      D7       G          D7   G
      In the slickest gig you'll ever see.

G
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry

G
When I take ya out in the surrey

G
When I take ya out in the surrey

         A         D
With the fringe on top

G
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters

G
When I drive them high steppin' strutters

G
Nosey pokes'll peek thru their shutters

          A        D
And their eyes 'll pop

          C          D             C            D7
      The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown

          G7                  C
      The dashboard's genuine leather

           Em7
      With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down

         A7                           D7
      In case there's a change in the wea--ther

G
Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'

G
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'

G
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin'

         A       D
That I'd care t' swap

         G
For that shiny little surrey

         Am     D7      G
With the fringe on the top

      G         D7      G          D7      E
      Would you say the fringe was made of silk?

      E         B7     E     B7        C#
      Wouldn't have no other kind but silk.

      C#     G#7    C#    G#7     A#   F     A# F7
      Has it really got a team of snow white horses?

      G          D7        G       D7        G
      One's like snow, the other's more like milk.

G
All the world 'll fly in a flurry

G
When I take you out in the surrey

G
When I take you out in the surrey

          A7        D
With the fringe on top

G
When we hit that road hell for leather

G
Cats and dogs 'll dance in the heather

G
Birds and frogs 'll sing altogether

        A          D
And the toads will hop

          C        D             C      D7
      The wind 'll whistle as we rattle along,

          G7                   C
      The cows 'll moo in the clover.

          Em7
      The river will ripple out a whispered song,

          A7                  D7
      And whisper it over and o----ver.

G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?

G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?

G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever,

         A       D
And it'd ne--ver stop?

         G
In that shiny little surrey

         Am7    D7      G
With the fringe on the top

G
I can see the stars gettin' blurry

G
When we ride back home in the surrey

G
Riding slowly home in the surrey

         A         D
With the fringe on top

G
I can feel the day gettin' older

G
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder

G
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder

        D7        D
'Til it falls ker-plop

          C      A               C        A
      The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill

          G7                C
      The moon is takin' a header

          Em7
      And just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still

        A7                      D7
      A lark 'll wake up in the mea--der

G
Hush you bird my baby's a sleepin'

G
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'

G
Whoa you team, and just keep a creepin'

     A    D    D7
At a slow clip-clop

          C
Don't you hurry with the surrey

         D7     D      G
With the fringe on the top
