Words and Music by Pete Seeger
[Verse 1]
D G Early in the mornin' I first see the sun, D A D I say a little prayer for the world. D G I hope all the children live a long, long time, D A D Yes, every little boy and little girl. D G I hope they learn to laugh at the way D A Some precious old words do seem to change, D G 'Cause that's what life is all about: D A D To arrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Chorus 1]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Verse 2]
D G When I see the first sliver of a brand-new moon, D A D I say a little prayer for the world. D G I hope all the children live a long, long time, D A D Yes, every little boy and little girl. D G I hope they learn to laugh at the way D A Some precious old words do seem to change, D G 'Cause that's what life is all about: D A D To arrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Chorus 1]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Verse 3]
D G I heard the first yowl of a brand new baby, D A D And I said a little prayer for the world. D G I hope all the children live a long, long time, D A D Yes, every little boy and little girl. D G I hope they learn to laugh at the way D A Some precious old words do seem to change, D G 'Cause that's what life is all about: D A D To arrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Chorus 1]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Verse 4]
D G Early in the morning I'm a-gathering the sap D A D And I say a little prayer for the maple. D G Like old Mama Quad, on the northwest slope, D A D I'll protect her as long as I'm able. D G She gives more sap year after year D A Than any other single tree, D G So bring on the pancakes! Here's to Mama Quad, D A D May she live for another century.
[Chorus 2]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, may she live for another century. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, may she live for another century.
[Verse 5]
D G Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night D A D And rub my achin' old eyes. D G Is that a voice from inside my head D A D Or does it come down from the sky? D G There's a time to laugh but there's a time to weep D A And a time to make a big change. D G Wake up you bum the time has come D A D To arrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Chorus 1]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange.
[Verse 6]
D G Perhaps the biggest change will come D A D When we don't have to change much at all. D G When maniacs holler "grow, grow, grow" D A D We can choose to be small. D G The key word may be "little," D A We only have to change a little bit. D G Eat a little food, drink a little drink, D A D And only have to shit a little shit. (Sing it!)
[Chorus 3]
Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit. Bm G D A D Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit.
