Once upon a time,
Em                  Em      Em
On a quiet summer's evening,
   Em          Esus4         Em                     Em
An old man was rowing an old boat across an ancient lake.

A little frog jumped up onto the end of the boat,
             Cmaj7/E
And the frog said to the old man:
 Em7
"Old man, if you kiss me,
                   Em7             Em
I will turn into a beautiful young princess,
            Em7                           Cmaj7/E  Em
And you can do whatever you want with me."
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em                             C
And the old man smiled at the frog,
                       Em      Em7  Cmaj7/E                Cmaj7/E
And kept on rowing his old boat    across the ancient lake.
 
 
[Verse 4]
D                       Am
And the frog said again:
 Am7     Dsus2/F#
"Old man, if you kiss me,
       Dsus2/F#
I will turn into a beautiful young princess,
Am          Em              Em7           Cmaj7/E  Em
And you can do whatever you want with me."
 
 
[Verse 5]
Em
And the old man smiled,
    Em7
And looked at the frog,
                          Cmaj7/E                     Cmaj7/E   D
And carried on rowing his old boat across the ancient lake,
 Am                          Am7
(You can make a dear friend),
Am7
And there was a long silence,
 Dsus2/F#
(You can make a dear friend),
Dsus2/F#
While the guitar played.

The old man looked at the frog,

Put his hands in the air,
                 Cadd9
And shrugged his shoulders and said:

"At my age I'd rather have a talking frog."
