Gordon Lightfoot – The Pony Man chords
Chords:
Gordon Lightfoot THE PONY MANG C GWhen it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shedC D D7And the river tells a story at the window by my bedG C G If you listen very closely be as quiet as you canC D G In the yard you'll hear him it is the pony man.G C GWe're always there to greet him when he tumbles into townC D D7 He leads a string of ponies some are white and some are brownG C G And they never seem to kick or bite they only want to playC D G And they live on candy apples instead of oats and hay.G C GAnd when we're all assembled he gives a soft commandC D D7 And we climb aboard our ponies as in a row they standG C G Then down the road we gallop and across the fields we flyC D G And soon we all go sailing off into the midnight sky.G C G And as we gaily rock along beside a ripplin' seaC D D7There's Tom 'n Dick 'n Sally and Mary Joe and meG C G And the pony man is leading cause he's travelled here beforeC D G And he gives a whoop and a holler at Mr. Moon's front door.G C G And as we stop to rest a while where the soda river glidesC D D7 Up to the slip comes a pirate ship to take us for a rideG C G And the pony man's the captain and the children are the crewC D G And we go in search of treasure and laugh the whole night through.G C GAnd when the hold is filled with gold and the sails begin to strainC D D7 And the deck's piled high with apple pie we head for port againG C G And down the whirling staircase so swift our ponies flyC D GAnd we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky.Repeat First Verse
