[D] And watched [F#m] a royal [Bm] samurai
[G]
[D] Find two [F#m] black hawkins in [Bm] a bath
[G]
[D] And strap it to a [Bm] laughing fox
[G]
[Bm] A minstrel bought a crooked [E] spoon
[Bm] He gave it to a blue [E] baboon
[Bm] Who filled it full of [E] virgin snow
[B] And wandered in the [F#] afterglow
[Bm]
[E]
[G] [F#]
[Bm] A toad stood in its [E] belly-sheath
