Chords for PETER, PAUL & MARY ~ Blue ~

_ _ _ _ _ _ We'd like to sing a children's song for you now.
_ That's unique
_ It's the only children's song that we've ever encountered that contains all three of the basic elements of every single children's song
_ The _ _ _ _ _ first element is simplicity so that the child can understand the song _ _
The second element is pathos to prepare the child for later traumatic experiences _
_ _ _ _ And the third element is repetition
_ To give the child a false sense of security

This [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] song would be [N] changed _ _
modified _ _ _ by an unscrupulous modifier of folk songs
Whose business it is to make this type of song palatable for the teenage delinquent mother my dog instinct
And _ _ _ _ _ _ then it would be a rock and roll song.
Oh nasty _
nasty unscrupulous modifier _ _ _ _
_ Would _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ sound something
