DAVID BOWIE - COME AND BUY MY TOYS
D Am C G6
D Am D Am
Smiling girls and rosy boys, come and buy my little toys,
D Am D G D Am
monkeys made of ginger bread and sugar horses painted red.
D Am D Am
Rich men's children running past their fathers dressed in hose,
D Am D G
golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes.
F6 G F6 G
Gazing eyes and running wild, past the stocks and over stiles,
F6 G Am D Am D Am
kiss the wind oh merry child but come and buy my toys!
D Am D Am
You've watched your father plough the fields with a ram's horn,
D Am D G D Am
sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn.
D Am D Am
Reaped it with a sharpened scythe, threshed it with a quill,
D Am D G
the miller told your father that he'd worked it with the greatest will.
F6 G F6 G
Now your watching's over you must play with girls and boys,
F6 G Am D Am D Am
leave the parsley on the stalls, come and buy my toys!
F G7 C F G7 C G
You shall own a cambric shirt, you shall work your fathers land,
D G D G Gm D Am D Am
but now you shall play in the market square, till you be a man.
D Am D Am
Smiling girls and rosy boys, come and buy my little toys,
D Am D G
monkeys made of ginger bread and sugar horses painted red.
HY.
