[Gm] [D]
A little while ago I made the film called The Pied Piper, and I was [Bb] the piper in it.
And I wrote a bunch of songs and found out that, as [Ab] in lots of film writing, they don't
necessarily use all the songs you write.
So this is one they didn't use, but I thought
pretty good, and they should have.
So I'd like to play it now.
It's pretty much the
Pied Piper song, when he's asked what he does [D] and where he's from.
[A]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [A] [D] [Bm]
[A] [D] I'm held [Bm] in high opinion In many a king's [A] dominion
[D] From the [Bm] snowy north [A] to sunny south I set the royal feet a-tappin'
And the poor people clappin' Every door lies open to [D] my song
All creatures beneath the sun That creep or swim or fly [A] or run
[D] Have to up [Bm] and dance when I [G] do play [E] And I [A] chiefly use my charm
[E] For to keep the old [A] heart warm [E] For the lack of music has [A] done people harm
[G] And people [A] call [D] me the [Bm] Pied [A] [D] Piper People [A] call [D] me the [Bm] Pied [G] Piper
People [A] call [D] me the [Bm] Pied [Gbm] [G] Piper Hey, the [A] piper call [D] the tune
[A] [D]
I'm very good [E] with [D] rats And sneaky wicked vampire bats
Snakes [Bm] and lakes and [A] dragons breathing fire [D] [A] And if you have this problem
I very soon can solve them For I have one remedy for [D] all complaints
So lean easy [Bm] and lean [A] right back [D] Lean right back and take a sigh
And open [Bm] up your ears, [G] my darling dears [E] My music [A] is the balm
[E] My music [A] makes you calm [E] Melody as a [A] medicinal charm
[D] And [A] people call [D] me the [Bm] Pied Piper People [A] call me [D] the [Bm] Pied Piper
[G] [A] People call me [D] the Pied Piper Hey, the piper [A] call the [D] tune
Um, [Bm] [D] uh, [A] [D] all the [Bm] children in the world Brown and white and boy and girl
Know the secret [A] meaning to my songs Princesses in prison towers
Monsters with evil powers Fairy tales are really, [D] really true
Why the goodies [Bm] and the baddies They live next door to [A] you and I
[D] The hero [Bm] and the heroine [G] is you, you, [E] you And if you listen to [A] my song
[E] You can go [A] very wrong [E] And now I [Bm] want you all to [A] sing along
[G] And people [A] call [D] me the [Bm] Pied Piper People [A] call [D] me the [Bm] Pied [A] Piper
[G] People [A] call me [D] the [Bm] Pied Piper [Dm] Hey, the [A] piper call [D] the tune

Thanks very much.
