How sweet to be a cloud
[Em]
[B] [Ab] Floating in the
[G]
[E]
[B] [E]
By the way, late the other night
I heard [Abm] above me a [E] trembling
I looked up, was a little cloud
From which a gold string was dangling
You know I gave the string a little pull
Just [B] to see what was on [E] the other end
Just then a voice came down to me
Says, hey [B] now, don't you wanna be [E] my friend?
[B] And float with [E] me to [B]
distant lands wondrous [E] and fair
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair
[A] Da-da [E]-da-da-da-da-da
[B] Da-da-da [E]-da-da-da-da
Da [A]-da-da-da-da-da-da
[B] [E]
You see, I'm just a happy little cloud
I laugh [B] and I float and I [E] sing my song
But the other clouds don't like me none
They say I'm [B] behaving so [E] very wrong
You see, a cloud's supposed to be sad
To cry [B] and weep and tear [E] its hair and all It don't matter how hard I try
I can't get [B] the first little [E] tear to [B] fall
Oh, float with [E] me to [B] distant lands wondrous [E] and fair
[Db] Float with me [E] to distant [B] lands wondrous [E] and [A] fair
Ya-ta [E]-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta [B]-ta-ta-ta [E]-ta-ta-ta-oh-ah-oh
[A] Ya-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta [B]-ta-ta-ta-ta [E]-ta-ta-oh-ah-oh
I said, hey, I like you, little cloud You are [Abm] a nice little [E] fellow, yes
You're making some kind of joke, said the cloud
Can't you see I'm [B] wearing such a [E] pretty dress?
You see, I am the prettiest little chick cloud
[Abm] That you'd find anywhere [E] up above I just dropped in on you a while
See [Abm] if you could give me some kind [E] of love And [B] float with me to [B] distant lands wondrous
[E]
and [B] fair Float with [E] me to distant lands wondrous [E] and fair
[A] [E]
[Bm] [E] [A]
[B] [E]
Just then the chief of clout come into view and says
Hey [B] girl now what you think you're [E] doing there I told you so many times before
You just [B] don't seem at [E] all to care You know you should be floating up above
Now [A] don't let me [B] catch you down [E] here again And as my clout rolled out of view
There come [B] falling down a gentle [E] shower of rain
Happy rain come falling down [Abm] Red, green, [B] blue and [E] golden
And every drop as it fell it smiled And throwing [B] back its head began [E] singing
[B] Oh float with me [E] to distant lands [E] wondrous and [Ab] fair
Float with [E] me to distant [B]
lands wondrous [E] and fair
