TITLE: The Surrey With the Fringe on Top
FROM: OKLAHOMA!
[Intro]
G D7 G D7 E
When I take you out tonight with me,
E B7 E B7 C#
Honey here's the way it's gonna be.
C# G#7 C# G#7 A# F A# F7
You'll set behind a team of snow white horses,
G D7 G D7 G
In the slickest gig you'll ever see.
[Verse 1]
G
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
G
When I take ya out in the surrey
G
When I take ya out in the surrey
A D
With the fringe on top
[Verse 2]
G
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
G
When I drive them high steppin' strutters
G
Nosey pokes'll peek thru their shutters
A D
And their eyes 'll pop
[Chorus]
C D C D7
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown
G7 C
The dashboard's genuine leather
Em7
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down
A7 D7
In case there's a change in the wea--ther
[Verse 3]
G
Two bright sidelights winkin' and blinkin'
G
Ain't no finer rig I'm a thinkin'
G
You can keep your rig if you're thinkin'
A D
That I'd care t' swap
G
For that shiny little surrey
Am D7 G
With the fringe on the top
Aside
G D7 G D7 E
Would you say the fringe was made of silk?
E B7 E B7 C#
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk.
C# G#7 C# G#7 A# F A# F7
Has it really got a team of snow white horses?
G D7 G D7 G
One's like snow, the other's more like milk.
[Verse 4]
G
All the world 'll fly in a flurry
G
When I take you out in the surrey
G
When I take you out in the surrey
A7 D
With the fringe on top
[Verse 5]
G
When we hit that road hell for leather
G
Cats and dogs 'll dance in the heather
G
Birds and frogs 'll sing altogether
A D
And the toads will hop
[Chorus]
C D C D7
The wind 'll whistle as we rattle along,
G7 C
The cows 'll moo in the clover.
Em7
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
A7 D7
And whisper it over and o----ver.
[Verse 6] (Sotto Voce)
G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?
G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever?
G
Don't you wisht it'd go on forever,
A D
And it'd ne--ver stop?
G
In that shiny little surrey
Am7 D7 G
With the fringe on the top
[Verse 7] (Sotto Voce & Adagio)
G
I can see the stars gettin' blurry
G
When we ride back home in the surrey
G
Riding slowly home in the surrey
A D
With the fringe on top
[Verse 8] (Sotto Voce & Adagio)
G
I can feel the day gettin' older
G
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder
G
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder
D7 D
'Til it falls ker-plop
[Chorus] (Sotto Voce & Adagio)
C A C A
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill
G7 C
The moon is takin' a header
Em7
And just as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still
A7 D7
A lark 'll wake up in the mea--der
[Verse 9] (Sotto Voce & Adagio)
G
Hush you bird my baby's a sleepin'
G
Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'
G
Whoa you team, and just keep a creepin'
A D D7
At a slow clip-clop
[Outro]
C
Don't you hurry with the surrey
D7 D G
With the fringe on the top
