[Verse 1]
ALegend has it that the Bmoss grows on the F#mnorth side of the treG#es
C#mLegend has it that when the Brain comes down, all the F#mworms come up to bG#reathe
C#mLegend has it that when the sBunbeams cC#mome, the plaF#mnts, they eat them with theiG#r leaves
C#mLegend has it that the Eworld spins round on an Aaxis of 23 deG#grees
[Chorus]
But C#mhave you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon
Or the F#mcow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or Ashe, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And Eswapped her songs with swallows while C#mriding on a G#broom
Well, C#mwe can all learn things both many and a-few
From that F#mold hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the Agirl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the Eman who drank too much and he C#mgot the brewers' G#droop
[Bridge]
ACome listen up all ye fair maids C#mto how the moral G#goes
C#mNobody knew and C#mnobody knowsG#  
C#mHow the pobble was Brobbed of his F#mtwice five toes
C#mOr how the doAng came to own a luC#mminous nosG#e
C#mOr how the Ajumblies went tBo sea in a sieEve that they roG#wed
C#mAnd came to shore by the cAhankly bore where the bong treG#es grow
C#mWhere the jabberwocky's sEmall green Atentacles do flow
AAnd the quanglewangle plays in the C#mrain and the snow
[Chorus]
But C#mhave you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon
Or the F#mcow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon
Or Ashe, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune
And Eswapped her songs with swallows while C#mriding on a G#broom
Well, C#mwe can all learn things both many and a-few
From that F#mold hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe
Or the Agirl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup
Or the Eman who drank too much and he C#mgot the brewers' G#droop

[Verse 1]

A B F#m G#

Legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees

C#m B F#m G#

Legend has it that when the rain comes down, all the worms come up to breathe

C#m B C#m F#m G#

Legend has it that when the sunbeams come, the plants, they eat them with their leaves

Legend has it that the world spins round on an axis of 23 degrees

[Chorus]

C#m

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon

F#m

Or the cow that hopped the planets while straddling a spoon

Or she, who leapt up mountains, while whistling up a tune

E C#m G#

And swapped her songs with swallows while riding on a broom

C#m

Well, we can all learn things both many and a-few

F#m

From that old hunched-up woman who lived inside a shoe

Or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup

E C#m G#

Or the man who drank too much and he got the brewers' droop

[Bridge]

A C#m G#

Come listen up all ye fair maids to how the moral goes

C#m C#m G#

Nobody knew and nobody knows

C#m B F#m

How the pobble was robbed of his twice five toes

C#m A C#m G#

Or how the dong came to own a luminous nose

C#m A B E G#

Or how the jumblies went to sea in a sieve that they rowed

C#m A G#

And came to shore by the chankly bore where the bong trees grow

C#m E A

Where the jabberwocky's small green tentacles do flow

A C#m

And the quanglewangle plays in the rain and the snow

[Chorus]

But have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon
