Jonathan Coulton
[Intro]

G C/G | G C/G


[Verse 1]

G
I woke up this morning
        C/G                     G    C/G G
I had a scone and a large house blend
    C             G/B    Am             C                     D
And then a little conver-sation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends
           G
I said I'm sick and tired of winter
      C/G              G     C/G G
And I wish that it was spring
    C             G/B          Am              
And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast
C           D  D#dim7
 Began to sing

And he sang


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em                                        Am
 Ooh ooh child, what'd you think the cold winter's gonna last forever
Em                                         Am             D
 Ooh ooh child, now's the time for all the people to get together
   C9 
Outside


[Chorus]

                        G
Cause it's the first of May, first of May
        C/G            G
Outdoor f**king starts today
   D
So bring your favorite lady
      C          G/B  Am  G   C/G G7
Or at least your favorite lay
    C                     G
The water's not cold baby dip in your big toe
    D                    G
Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto
C                G
Grass below you, sky above
Am        Em/B          C                          Cadd9
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called..
              G C/G G C/G 
f**king outside


[Verse 2]

  G
I thanked him for the information
          C/G                 G   C/G G
I cried a little when he flew away
  C             G/B         Am                   
I watched an episode of The People's Court
      C                D
And I tried to plan my day
  G
I called up my old lady
           C/G                 G   C/G G
She wasn't home so I called my girl
  C                  G/B       Am          
I asked her if she'd like to join me as I
C              D      D#dim7
 Entertain the world
And I said


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em                                        Am
Ooh ooh child, I'll bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the ants off
Em                                             Am                   D
Ooh ooh child, you're gonna like it when we're taking each other's pants off
   C9 
Outside


[Chorus]

                        G
Cause it's the first of May, first of May

The water's not cold baby dip in your big toe

Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto
C                G
Grass below you, sky above
Am        Em/B          C                          Cadd9

[Verse 3]

      G
So we went to the park together
        C/G                   G  C/G G
We were walking in the midday sun
   C       G/B      Am              
We met all kinds of people and
  C            D
We f**ked everyone
   G
We f**ked a lady who sells ice cream
            C/G                 G  C/G G
We f**ked a man with a tan Shar Pei
C            G/B    Am              C
Everyone who needed f**king well they

They got f**ked today
So come on


[Pre-Chorus 3]

Em                                      Am
 Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel-the-spirit moving through you
Em                                            Am                    D
 Ooh ooh child, you'll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to you
