      G
Let's start at the very beginning
  G
A very good place to start
         F                   C
When you read you begin with A-B-C
         F          C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi


C
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
    G           F          C
The first three notes just happen to be
C
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

C    (F)   (C)    G
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti



Let's see if I can make it easy



C
Doe, a deer, a female deer
G
Ray, a drop of golden sun
C
Me, a name I call myself
F
Far, a long, long way to run
C                     F
Sew, a needle pulling thread
D                    G
La, a note to follow Sew
E                         Am
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
          F        G       C
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

[Repeat verse twice]


C        F           C  G  C
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do-so-do!


Once you have these notes in your heads, 
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.


C     F     C     G
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
C     F     C  G  C
So Do La Ti Do Re Do


[While repeating C F C G:]
But it doesn't mean anything.
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.


C        F        C        G
When you know the notes to sing
C       F         C G C
You can sing most anything

[repeat above verse twice]


C
Doe, a deer, a female deer
G
Ray, a drop of golden sun
C
Me, a name I call myself
F
Far, a long, long way to run
C                     F
Sew, a needle pulling thread
D                    G
La, a note to follow Sew
E                         Am
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
          F        G       C
That will bring us back to Do


C  G  C  F  C  F  G  C
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
C  G  F  C  F  C  G
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re


C
Do Mi Mi
C
Mi So So
G
Re Fa Fa
G
La Ti Ti



C        F        C        G     
When you know the notes to sing
C       F         C G C
You can sing most anything!
[In this verse, a G is actually played instead of an F, 
but I think it sounds better this way]


C
Doe, a deer, a female deer
G
Ray, a drop of golden sun
C
Me, a name I call myself
F
Far, a long, long way to run
C                     F

E                         Am
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
          F        G
