Verse 1
(G major) When it's midnight on the meadow
and the (F major) cats are (C major) in the (G major) shed
And the river tells a (C major) story
at the (D major) window by my bed
If you (G major) listen very closely,
be as (F major) quiet as (C major) you can (G major)
In the yard you'll (C major) hear him,
it (D major) is the Pony Man (G major)
And we're always there to greet him
when he (F major) tumbles (C major) into town (G major)
And he leads a string of (C major) ponies,
some are (D major) white and some are brown
And they (G major) never seem to kick or bite,
they (F major) always (C major) want to play (G major)
And they live on candy apples (C major)
instead (D major) of oats and (G major) hay
When we are assembled
he gives (F major) us (C major) our com (G major) mand
We climb aboard our (C major) ponies
as (D major) in a row they stand
Then (G major) down the road we gallop
and across (F major) the (C major) fields we (G major) fly
Soon we all go (C major) sailing off
into (D major) the midnight sky (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
And as we gaily rock
along this (F major) side of (C major) Ripplin' (G major) Sea
There's Tom and Dick and (C major) Sally
and (D major) Mary Jo and me
And the (G major) pony man is a lady
cause he's (F major) traveled here (C major) before
(G major) And he gives a hoop and a (C major) holler
at (D major) Mr. Moon's front (G major) door (F major) (E major) (A major)
And then we stop to rest a while
where the (G major) Soda River (D major) glides (A major)
Up to the slip comes a (D major) pirate ship
to (E major) take us for a ride
And the (A major) pony man's the captain
and the (G major) children are (D major) the crew (A major)
And we go in search of (D major) treasure
and (E major) laugh the whole night (A major) through
When the hole is filled with gold
and the (G major) sails be (D major) gin to strain (A major)
And the decks pile high with (D major) apple pie
we head (E major) for port again
Bend (A major) down the whirling staircase
swift (G major) our (D major) ponies fly (A major)
And we're safely in our (D major) beds again
When the (E major) sunbeams kiss the sky (A major)
When it's midnight on the meadow
And the (G major) cats are (D major) in the shed (A major)
And the river tells a (D major) story
At the (E major) window by my bed
If (A major) you listen closely,
be as (G major) quiet as (D major) you can (A major)
In the yard you'll (D major) hear him,
it (E major) is the Pony Man (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
In the yard you'll (D major) hear him,
it (E major) is the Pony Man you
The Pony Man
