Version 1
            [Verse 1]
C                 E7
I had a friend, a friend I could trust
   Am                     F
He went into the park and got busted
C         D7            C    G7
Doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
C                 E7
Went in the park, late at night
        Am                           F
They're puttin' a lot of people over 80 up tight
       C         D7            G7   C
He was doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag
[Chorus]
C            E7
Ring around, ring around Rose
Am                  F
Touch your nose and blow your toes
         C         D7            C    G7
And mind doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
C            E7
Ring around, ring around Rose
Am                  F
Touch your nose and blow your toes
         C         D7            G7   C
And mind doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
[Verse 2]
C                E7
We ought to send Officer Joe Strange
   Am              F
To some Australian mountain range
      C                D7           C    G7
So we all could do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag (Would you)
C                      E7
like to put Philadelphia upthight, one mass
Am                       F
Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy in the middle of the night
   C                 D7           G7   C
We all should do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag
[Chorus]
C            E7
Ring around, ring around Rose
Am                  F
Touch your nose and blow your toes
         C         D7            C    G7
And mind doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
(It really was a drag!)
C            E7
Ring around, ring around Rose
Am                  F
Touch your nose and blow your toes
         C         D7            G7
And mind doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy
C                   D7
Touch your nose and blow your toes
            F         D7            G7   C
When you're doin' the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
