#1.
G                     Bm
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep,
  C               D7
I open my eyes to take a peep,
   G               Bm
to find that I was by the sea
C                 D7
gazing with tran..quility.

CHORUS:
     F                   C
Twas then when the hurdy gurdy man
     G
came singing songs of love.
F                   C
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
     G
came singing songs of love.
F            C
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy,
G
hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang.(x3)

#2.
G            Bm         C             D7
Histories of ages past, unenlightened shadows cast,
G                Bm            C             D7
down through all eternity, the crying of hu..manity.

CHORUS:
    F                   C
Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man
      G
comes singing songs of love.
F                   C
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
      G
comes singing songs of love.
F            C            G
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy he sang.(x4)

ADD:
F                   C              G
Here comes the roly-poly man, he's singing songs of love.
F          C          G
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, he sang.
F            C            G
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy he sang.
F            C            G
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy he sang.
F          C          G
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly he sang.
