Burl Ives – The Owl And The Pussycat chords

[Verse 1]
    CThe Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
                            G7   In a beautiful pea-green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money,
                              C   Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,
       C7                 F   And sang to a small guitar,
                   C"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
           F                   C    What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are,
       F                   CWhat a beautiful Pussy you are!"

[Verse 2]
      CPussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
                            G7   How charmingly sweet you sing!

O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
                              C   But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day,
          C7                       F   To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
                      CAnd there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
          F                      C   With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose,
          F                      C   With a ring at the end of his nose.

[Verse 3]
      C"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
                                  G7   Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."

So they took it away, and were married next day
                                  C   By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
                                  F   Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
    C7                     CAnd hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
        F                          C   They danced by the light of the moon, the moon,
     F                          CThey danced by the light of the moon.
