Timothy Grub (CHORDS) by Vashti Bunyan
C Am F G
Maurice Snail and Timothy Grub
C Am F G
Swanney and Blue and Emily Grub
Dm G C Am
Decided one day to go into the wood
Dm G C Am
And build them a house and live there if they could
F G C Am
And they stayed there a while in the trees and the rain
F G C Am
Till one day two blue men said,.. "You're all insane"
F Dm G
And to please not come here again
C Am F G
They had a green car called Happiness Runs
C Am F G Dm
Friday comes and Happiness runs out of petrol
G C Am
And everyone gets out to push
Dm G C Am
And suddenly see through a gap in the bush
F G C Am
A real caravan just like the one in their dreams
F G C Am
The gypsy doesn't want it for nowadays it seems
F Dm G
His home stays in one place and gleams
C Am F G
He told them that he had a horse down the lane
C Am F G
Saturday morning they went back again
Dm G C Am
He showed them a shed that was built out of tin
Dm G C Am
He opened the door and they all peered within
F G C Am
And there lying on straw was a horse black as night
F G C Am
With a star on her forehead and eyes full of light
F Dm G
And they all fell in love at first sight
C Am F G
They thought and they thought about having Black Bess
C Am F G
Timothy planted some mustard and cress
Dm G C Am
They lived in a cupboard and made it their home
Dm G C Am
And lay there and dreamed of the days when they'd roam
F G C Am
Up and down all the hills of the north countryside
F G C Am
With the dogs eating buttercups on the wayside
F Dm G
And they'd wave all the cities goodbye
