The Tiny Mouse chords by Janis Ian
Verse 1
Am
One, two, three,
E
Am
E
Am
E
Am
go!
E
Am
There was a tiny mouse
E
Am
who lived in a tiny house
E
Am
Full of drafts and doubts
E
and incredible things
Am
Like a jack -in -the -box
who popped every Sunday
Dm
at five o 'clock
Am
E
And a clown who wore a frown
Am
E
Am
E
Am
that was deafening
E
Am
He ate off a silver spoon in a golden room,
E
Am
but platinum plates and
diamond goblets
E
weren't enough.
Am
I am bored, said he,
Dm
I think I will go to sea,
Am
where I'll be drinking grog
E
Am
E
and sniffing occasional snuff.
Am
Dm
Am
So he stowed away that very day,
E
Am
but the motion of the ocean made him sick.
Dm
He went looking for a loo,
Am
but the be st that he could do
E
was the bathroom of the
Am
captain of the ship.
Dm
Am
E
Oh, the bathroom of the captain of
Am
E
Am
E
Am
E
Am
the ship!
There was a small still life
E
Am
of the captain's wife
E
Am
And what he saw there
E
nearly brought the mouse to tears
Am
A calico coat and head,
Dm
and the inscription read
Am
E
To the captain of my heart
Am
E
from kitty dear
Am
E
Am
Mouse began to cry, what a fool am I
E
Am
To come so far and then be
E
served upon a plate
Am
What an awful meal I'll be,
Dm
Am
most of all to me, so it's overboard,
E
Am
E
I'll go and make my escape.
Am
Dm
He caught a flounder for a sail,
Am
made a rubber of his tail,
E
and swam as hard as he could
Am
swim for land.
Dm
Where he dried his whiskers off,
Am
and coughed, and coughed, and coughed,
E
Am
and spat up seven oysters in the clam.
Dm
Am
E
Oh, he's got seven oysters and
Am
E
Am
Dm
a crab
Am
E
Am
E
Am
He married a musketeer
E
Am
Had children who loved to hear
E
Am
About the adventures of
E
the tiny stowaway
Am
But it made their noses itch,
Dm
and their whiskers twitch,
Am
E
To think how close he'd come to be
Am
E
Am
ing the soup of the day.
Dm
The moral of the tale,
Am
you sleep before you sail,
E
And always keep your paws
Am
and whiskers neat.
Dm
And if you're dining on a ship,
Am
just be sure the rooms were lit,
E
Always know what's in the bowl
Am
before you eat.
Dm
Am
E
Always know what's in the bowl
Am
before you eat.
