Paxton Tom - Marvelous Toy Tabs

The Marvelous Toy--Tom Paxton

         C............G7.............C..................G7
    When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy
       F................C..................D7...........G7
    My father home-ward came one night and gave to me a toy
        C............G7...............C.........F.........
    A wonder to behold it was, with many colors bright
    ..................F...............D7.................G7.
    The moment I laid eyes on it, it became my hearts delight

    CH:
            C.......................G7...............
    It went ZIP when it moved, and BOP when it stopped
         C...................F.......................
    And WHIRRR when it stood still
     ...................C...............G7...............C
    I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will



  2)The first time that I picked it up I had a big surprise
    For right on it's bottom were 2 big buttons that looked like big green eyes
    I first pushed one and then the other and then I twisted it's lid
    And when I set it down again, this is what it did     CH:

  3)It first marched left and then marched right and then marched under a chair
    And when I looked where it had gone it wasn't even there
    I started to sob and daddy laughed, for he knew what I would find
    When I turned around my marvelous toy, chugging from behind   CH:

  4)The years have gone by quickly it seems, I have my own little boy
    And yesterday I gave to him, my own marvelous little toy
    His eyes nearly popped right out of his head and he gave a squeal of glee
    Neither one of us knows just what it is but he loves it just like me  CH:

    I always think of this as a Christmas song. I used periods between
    chords cuz my editor otherwise moves them around.
