Version 1 Version 2

            On the Asus2 drop the D string in rhythm

[Intro]
Asus2 G Asus2 G (x2)

[Verse]
Asus2
  As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
   C        D  C   D          D      C    D                   Asus2 G Asus2 G
I came upon Mother Goose so I turned her loose, she was screaming.
Asus2
And a foreign student said to me
C      D   C   D                         D   C  D                    Asus2 G
Was it really true there are elephants and lions too in Piccadilly Circus?

Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2

[Chorus]
D                  Bm              G                 D A
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun.
                D              Bm                 G               D  A
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
C                                  Asus2 G Asus2 G
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy.

Asus2 G Asus2

[Verse]
Asus2
And a bearded lady said to me
   C             D      C    D                D      C  D       Asus2 G Asus2 G
If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry.
Asus2
Then the chicken-fancier came to play
     C   D    C   D              D  C     D                      Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2
With his long red beard (and his sister's weird: She drives a lorry)

[Chorus]
D                   Bm              G             D     A
Laughed down by the putting green I popped 'em in their holes.
                D              Bm         G                D     A
Four and twenty labourers were labouring, digging up their gold.
C                                               Asus2 G  Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2
I don't believe they knew that I was Long John Silver.
Asus2
Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
   C   D   C     D             D     C    D                         Asus2 G Asus2 G
In his jet-black mac (which he won't give back) stole it from a snowman.

[Verse]
Asus2
  As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
   C        D  C   D          D      C    D                   Asus2 G Asus2 G
I came upon Mother Goose so I turned her loose, she was screaming.
Asus2
And a foreign student said to me
C      D   C   D                         D   C  D                    Asus2 G
Was it really true there are elephants and lions too in Piccadilly Circus?

Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2

[Chorus]
D                  Bm              G                 D A
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun.
                D              Bm                 G               D  A
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one.
C                                  Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2 G Asus2
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy.
