          Am (x02210@1)                  DmThere's (xx0231@1)a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
                        E7Mad (020130@1)as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
   Am (x02210@1)                   DmGo (xx0231@1)out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
Am (x02210@1)                E7 (020130@1)       Am (x02210@1)Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.
