Ralph McTell – Bright And Beautiful Things (Guitar)

G           D      C          D
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,

G          D             C  D G
Eating her curds and her whey.

 G           D          C          D
Along came a spider and sat down beside her,

    G               C       D G
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

C   Cm         G
Oh, oh, what a shame.

C   Cm             G        D
Oh, oh, who do you blame ?

    G      D      C            D
The spider soon - finished his web,

        G         D         C            D  G
And the rain came down, and hung it with diamonds.

      G          D              C             D
And a bird flew along, with the stroke of his wing,

          G    C          D  G
Broke the web, he ate the spider.

C   Cm         G
Oh, oh, what a shame.

C   Cm                  G      D
Oh, what a waste of the rain

    G            D    C        D
The bird flew up high into the sky,

        G           D           C              D G
And the sun lit the tips of his wet wings with fire.

      G          D            C           D
And a man with a gun shot him down to the ground,

    G             C           D  G
And went home and sang in the choir.
