E 
Bless the father bless the son 

E 
Cross your heart 'cause you're the one 

    A                       E 
Collecting moonbeams in the morning 


(E) 


E 
Curvy sticks and wooden poles 

E 
Assisting you in plugging holes 

A                                     E 
Plug them holes till you see straight through to the mind's eye 

(E) 



D 
Think about it turn around 

A 
And go back to the quiet sound 

   C                               D 
Of Jim and Dan prancing 'round the pool 

             E                A         E 
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you 

             E                 D                 A 
You were the fool, but there's something you can do 

 (E) 


__Verse__ 

        E 
You can wash your arm in a pool of mud 

        E 
You can chop a tree, prevent a flood 

        A                           E 
You can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around 

(E) 

        E 
You can build a boat, and sail the sea 

        E 
You can buy a moat and forge a key 

  A                     E 
Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe 

(E) 


D 
Think about it turn around 

    A 
And go back to the quiet sound 

   C                              D 
Of Jim and Dan prancing 'round the pool 

             E                A         E 
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you 

             E                 D                 A 
You were the fool, but there's something you can do
