C              Am 
Sing a song of sixpence 
  G 
A pocket full of rye 
C               Am 
Four and twenty blackbirds 
Dm         G 
Baked in a pie 
C                Am 
When the pie was opened 
    G 
The birds began to sing 
C             Am 
Wasn't that a dainty dish 
   Dm    G        C  
To set before the king 

verse 2 

C                   Am 
The king was in the counting house 
G 
Counting out his money 
    C                Am 
The queen was in the parlour 
Dm               G 
Eating bread and honey 
    C               Am 
The maid was in the garden 
G 
Hanging out the clothes 
 C           Am 
Along came a blackbird 
    Dm      G       C 
And snipped off her nose
