Darcy The Dragon Chords

(ver. 1)
Roger Whittaker
[Verse 1]
E                                                                     C#m
Christmas was coming and Darcy the Dragon was thinking what he should do
G#m                       F#m                  A         B        E
Go through the forest and into the village to pick up a gift or two
       E                                                          C#m
For through the forest dear Darcy had friends that he loved very much
     G#m                     F#m              A            B         E
He thought it'd be fine at Christmas time to give each a present or such
 
     E                     D               E        D      E
But Darcy'd forgotten the very thing that makes a dragon unique
   E               D                        E       D         E
Unlike a horse a dragon of course breathes fire whenever he speaks
C#m              F#m             C#m        B
Off to town dear Darcy went, but woe is me, oh lament
  C#m           F#m                   C#m       D    E
Before a dragon penny was spent he'd started a tiny fire
 
[Verse 2]
    E                                                      C#m
He said he was sorry our Darcy did, he helped put the fire out
     G#m                  F#m                A            B        E
The folks forgave him for he'd been kind and off he went looking about
E                                                            C#m
Into the toy shop did Darcy go with thoughts of his forest friends
      G#m                   F#m                       A       B            E
"I'll buy each a game!" he said with a flame and the second fire, it was then
      E                  D            E          D       E
And this time, when the fire was out villagers charged along
    E               D                 E      D       E
Pursuing Darcy with angry shouts, "Be off! Away! Be gone!"
      C#m                F#m                 C#m              B
Poor Darcy sparked, "No harm I meant", but from the village, he was sent
     C#m          F#m             C#m     D         E
and woe is me and oh lament, no presents for his friends
 
[Verse 3]
 E                                                      C#m
Darcy was sad as he sat at the edge of the forest by and by
   G#m                    F#m                   A          B         E
No gifts would he have to offer his friends, a tear rolled  from his eye
    E                                                         C#m
A storm did gather and soon did hit t'was a mighty wind that blew
      G#m                F#m                  A         B        E
And Christmas snow did whirl and blow and he wondered what to do?
    E                     D             E           D        E
As Darcy let out with a dragon's cry he opened his mouth so wide
          E                  D                         E           D      E
that the wind and snow went right down his throat and put out the fire inside
      C#m                F#m           C#m               B
When Darcy realized the fire was out, first a whisper, then a shout
       C#m                          F#m           C#m      D      E
and a laugh to know that he could speak without starting another fire
 
[Verse 4]
    E                                                             C#m
But now it was late on the Christmas Eve he was up and off with a roar
    G#m                     F#m                A         B         E
He raced to the village and he cried out, "My fire, [it burns] no more!"
       E                                               C#m
From shop to shop he then did go in each he made his choice
 G#m                  F#m            A       B        E
Darcy was treated so kindly now, no need to fear his voice
     E                    D                 E     D         E
The villagers came to the edge of town and Darcy waved goodbye
       E            D                    E           D               E
"Come back again if ever you can!" they said and he said that he'd try
  C#m              F#m            C#m              B
"Merry Christmas!" all did say as to the woods he made his way
    C#m              F#m               C#m     D           E
"Tomorrow will be Christmas Day and a Merry Christmas to thee!"
