THE PONY MAN Gordon Lightfoot
Intro A capo 2
A D A
When it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shed
D E E7
And the river tells a story at the window by my bed
A D A
If you listen very closely be as quiet as you can
D E A
In the yard you'll hear him it is the pony man.
A D A
We're always there to greet him when he tumbles into town
D E E7
He leads a string of ponies some are white and some are brown
A D A
And they never seem to kick or bite they only want to play
D E A
And they live on candy apples instead of oats and hay.
A D A
And when we're all assembled he gives a soft command
D E E7
And we climb aboard our ponies as in a row they stand
A D A
Then down the road we gallop and across the fields we fly
D E A
And soon we all go sailing off into the midnight sky.
Solo A D A D E E7 A D A D E A
A D A
And as we gaily rock along beside a ripplin' sea
D E E7
There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally and Mary Joe and me
A D A
And the pony man is leading cause he's travelled here before
D E A
And he gives a whoop and a holler at Mr. Moon's front door.
A D A
And as we stop to rest a while where the soda river glides
D E E7
Up to the slip comes a pirate ship to take us for a ride
A D A
And the pony man's the captain and the children are the crew
D E A
And we go in search of treasure and laugh the whole night through.
A D A
And when the hold is filled with gold and the sails begin to strain
D E E7
And the deck's piled high with apple pie we head for port again
A D A
And down the whirling staircase so swift our ponies fly
D E A
And we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky.
Solo A D A D E E7 A D A D E A
A D A
When it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shed
D E E7
And the river tells a story at the window by my bed
A D A
If you listen very closely be as quiet as you can
D E A
In the yard you'll hear him it is the pony man.
