Little Cloud

C    G   C

[Verse 1]
C
Lying awake, late the other night
C     G7 C        G    C
Heard ab-ove me a trembling,
C
I looked up, it was a little cloud,
C          G7 C                 G   C
From which a  golden string was dangling;
C
You know, I gave the string a little pull,
C       G7  C               G     C
Just to see what was on the other end.
C
Just then a voice came down to me, an' says,
 C    F    C                 G     C
"Hey, now, don't you want to be my friend,

[Chorus]
    G                C              G            C
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
G                C             G            C
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow

[Verse 2]
    C
You see I'm just a happy little cloud,
  C     G7  C         G       C
I laugh and float and sing my song,
C
But the other clouds don't like me none.
C        G7 C           G    C
They say I  am behaving very wrong.
    C
You see a cloud’s supposed to be sad,
   C   G7  C                 G        C
To cry and weep and tear its hair and all,
C
It don't matter how hard I try,
  C     F   C                G       C
I can't get the first little tear to fall."

[Chorus]
    G                C              G            C
Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
G                C             G            C
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow

[Verse 3]
  C
I said, "Hey, I like you little cloud,
C   G7    C           G       C
You are a nice little fellow, yes."
 C
"You making some, kind of a joke?", said the cloud,
     G7                C              G      C
"Now can't you see I'm wearing such a pretty dress?
    C
You see I am the prettiest little chick cloud
C          G7   C        G   C
That you'd find anywhere up above.
C
I just dropped in on you a while
C         F         C            G       C
To see if you could give me some kind of love."

[Chorus]
    G                C              G            C
And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
G                C             G            C
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow

[Verse 4]
C
Just then the chief cloud come into view
C          G7    C                               G     C
And says, "Hey, girl, now what you think you're doing there?
C
I told you so many times before
    C    F     C           G  C
You just don't seem at all to care.
C
You know you should be floating up above, now
C     F      C              G     C
Don't let me catch you down here again."
C
And as my cloud pulled out of view,
C     F    C                     G         C
There come falling down a gentle shower of rain.
C
Happy rain come falling down,
C    G7     C        G  C
Red, green, blue and golden.
C
And every drop, as it fell, it smiled
     F                 C           G   C
And, throwing back its head, began singing,

[Chorus]
    G                C              G            C
Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
G                C             G            C
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
F                  C              G              C
Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-tah-tah, ta-ta-tah-tah, pow-wow
