[Dm] Well, after singing all these strange ones, I'll sing one that's very familiar.
I think it wasn't familiar, though, until a [E] friend of mine dug it out of an old songbook
printed almost a hundred years [D] ago.
[G#m] He taught it to me, and I was going around singing at some colleges.
And some of the college students that were there picked it up.
Next thing after they graduated, they'd formed a quartet.
And he got the [A] song on the hit parade.
