Hear the goose,
Asus4 (x02230@1)                 Ccussing (x32010@1)at me over her eggs.
                Asus4You (x02230@1)poor little cousin.
                  CI (x32010@1)don't want your dregs
               Asus4 (x02230@1)             C(A (x32010@1)little baby fussing all over my legs).
              
             AmThere (x02210@1)is a blacksmith,
and there is a shepherd,
and there is a butcher-boy,
                Cand (x32010@1)there is a barber, who's cutting
and cutting away at my only joy.
       AmI (x02210@1)saw a rabbit,
as slick as a knife,
and as pale as a candlestick,
           Cand (x32010@1)I had thought it'd be harder to do,
but I caught her, and skinned her quick:
held her there,
Amkicking (x02210@1)and mewling, 
upended, unspooling, unsung and blue;
          Ctold (x32010@1)her "wherever you go,
little runaway bunny,
I will find you."
             AmAnd (x02210@1)then she ran,
                     Cas (x32010@1)they're liable to do.

             Asus4 (x02230@1)    CBe (x32010@1)at peace, baby, and begone.
