So once I had a little house in the country babe

In the country, I was living in the country with you

And the man down the corner had a funny little hat

And he wore little buttons all down his back

And little did he know that he really had to go and give it to the

neighbour’s cat, to the neighbour’s cat

And the neighbour’s cat with the funny little hat all day

Oh be careful what you wish for, ‘cause it might come true

Oh be careful what you dream for, ‘cause it’s staring back at you,

oh it’s staring back at you

Can you march to the beat of the sugar plum fairy drums

With the fairy drums or the sugar plums of a marching tune

To the rhythm of the rhythm of the tap-a-tap-tap and the

guillotine man in the baseball cap

And no one could tell just quite where he fell ‘cause he fell down a

pavement crack, down a pavement crack

And the pavement crack really (????) you hell and back.

Oh be careful what you wish for, ‘cause it might come true

Oh be careful what you dream of, ‘cause it’s staring back at you,

’cause it’s staring back at you

Well I play guitar and you play guitar

And you play guitar and I play guitar

And I play guitar and you play guitar

And you play guitar and I play harmonicarr

Harmonica solo

Oh be careful what you wish for, ‘cause it might come true

Hey yeah be careful what you dream of, ‘cause it’s staring back at you,

’cause it’s staring back at you

Just Am for first half then back to Am/F/E

Oh you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of

done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you

shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done,

no, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of

done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you

shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that, you shouldn’t of done that,

///// - End on

Oh be careful what you wish for, ‘cause it might come true

‘Cause it might, no, be careful what you dream of, ‘cause it’s staring back at you,

’cause it’s staring back at you
