How [G] sweet to be [Ab] a cloud
[A] [Ab]
Floating in [G] the blue
[E]
[E]
[Ebm]
Lying awake late the other night
[Abm] Heard a bumblebee a [E]-trembling
I looked up, it was a cloud
From which a gold [B] string was [E] dangling
You know I gave the string a little pull
[Abm] Just to see what was on [E] the other end
Just then a voice come down to me and says
Hey [Abm] now, don't you wanna be [E] my [B] friend
And float with me [E] to distant [B] lands, wondrous [E]
sunfire
Float with [E] me to distant [B]
lands, wondrous [E] sunfire
[A] [E]
[Bm] Yadadadadadadadada
[E] [A]
[E] [B]
You see I'm just a happy little cloud
I laugh, and [Abm] I float, and I [E] sing my song
But the other clouds don't like me none
They say I [Abm] am behaving very wrong
You see a cloud's supposed to be sad
To cry [Abm] and weep, care [E] is here and all It don't matter how hard I try
I can't get [Abm] the first little tear [B] to fall Float with [E] me to [B] distant lands, [E] wondrous
and fair [B] Float with me [E] to distant lands, wondrous [E] and [A] fair
Ye-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-ta [B]-ta Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-woah
[E] [B]
[E]
Say hey, I like you little cloud You are [Abm] a nice little [E] fellow, yes
You're making some kind of joke inside the cloud
Now can't you see [Abm] I'm wearing such a pretty [E] dress
See I am the prettiest little chick-o-clout That you'd find [B] anywhere up above
I just stroked in on you a while See if you could give me some kind of love
And float with me to distant lands [E] wondrous and [B] fair
Float with [Db] me to distant lands wondrous [E] and fair
Yuh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh [B]-duh-duh-duh-duh [E]-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
[B] [E]-oh -oh
Just then the chief-o-clout come into view and says
Hey girl, now what you [B] think you're doing [E] there?
I've told you so many times before
You just [Abm] don't seem at [E] all to care You know you should be floating up above now
Don't let [Abm] me catch you down here again
And as my cloud rolled out of view
There come [Abm] falling down [B] a gelatin [E] shower of green
Happy rain falling down
Red, [Abm] green, blue [E] and golden
And every drop as it fell it smiled and
Throwing [Ab] back its [B] head began [E] singing
[Db] Come float with me to distant lands
Wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands
Wondrous [Ab] and [A] fair
