We've got [F] a few more surprises yet before we [G] finish tonight.
So with this one, I know at the beginning this is,

I've learned [Gm] a lot of things from other people.
And I thought I had to have one song by somebody else
that I [F] hope she doesn't know.
So we decided to do this one.
It's an arrangement [Ab] of an old [G] Californian folk song, [Ab] which
Michael Thomas wrote.
Well, here's the imagination.
