        C
[tab]     Dm
It’s harder than you think

   Cmaj7
If you can do it without falling down

        F
You can do just about anything

Dm     G
Go on, see if you can

Dm      G                         C
See how long you can stand on one leg

        C
Can you beat your dad at chess

     Dm
It’s harder than you think

Cmaj7
Sit him down at Christmas, turn the TV off

                 F
Give him lots of chocolates and a drink

    Dm       G
And he might give you a match

    Dm               G
And when you’ve been duly dispatched

        C            G/C
He will laugh, ha ha ha

           Bb/C           A
And you’ll say, ‘one more game’

        D
Can you write a silly song

     Em
It’s harder than you think

Dmaj7
One that’s not too short, one that’s not too long

                   G
One that can makes everybody sing

Em     A
Go on, give it a try

    Em       A
You might do better than I

          D              A/C#         C
It’s just like trying to stand on one leg

        B7      E
Tell me can you tell a funny joke

         F#m
One that makes you laugh out loud

         E/G#
One that makes the milk come out your nose

       A
If you know a funny joke then tell it now...

           E           G#m
That’s not bad, I’m impressed

            Bm        C#
But there’s one final test

        F#                        G#m
Can you hold a singing note for a stupidly long time

      F#/Bb
Well it’s my party piece so let’s make it a little harder

   B
By starting it way up high

G#m      C#
Come on, give it a go

G#m            C#
