Skip Rope Song Chords

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Skip Rope Song
 
 
 
[Intro]
Am    Dm  Am
 
[Verse 1]
                 G      Am
I used to know a pretty girl
    G               Am
Who cut off all her hair
    C              Dm
The scissors flew among the curls
    G               Am
And curls went everywhere
 
 
[Verse 2]
                  G      Am
I gathered up the fallen locks
    G             Am
And carried them away
    C             Dm
And put them in a silver box
    G                 Am
And keep them to this day
 
 
[Chorus]
A
Song sing, birdie-with-a-wing
               E7
Perfect circle sun
    A                D
The grown-ups get to make the rules
    E7              A
And we have all the fun
    D       E7      A    D  G  Am
And we have all the fun
 
 
[Verse 3]
                G         Am
And now I am in love with you
    G                  Am
And hope that you will stay
C                    Dm
And to prove that my love is true
     G                Am
I’ll throw the curls away
 
 
[Verse 4]
                G         Am
And now I am in love with you
    G                  Am
And hope that you will stay
C                    Dm
And to prove that my love is true
     G                Am
I’ll throw the curls away
C                    Dm
And to prove that my love is true
     G                Am
I’ll throw the curls away

[Chorus]
 
Song sing, birdie-with-a-wing
               E7
Perfect circle sun

The grown-ups get to make the rules
    E7              A
And we have all the fun
    D       E7      A
And we have all the fun
