Marvelous Toy Chords by John Denver

_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
When I was just [G] a wee little [C] boy, full of [G] health and joy,
[F] One Christmas [C] morning I [D] received a marvelous [G] little toy.
[C] A wonder to [G] behold it [C] was, with many [F] colors bright,
And the moment I [C] laid eyes on [D] it, it became my [G] heart's delight.
It [C] went zip when it [G] moved, bop when it [C] stopped, brrrr when it [F] stood still,
I never [C] knew just what it [G] was, and I guess I [C] never will.
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
The first time [G] that I picked it [C] up, I had a [G] big surprise,
[F] For right on its [C] bottom were two green [D] buttons that looked like big [G] green eyes.
[C] I first pushed [G] one, and then the [C] other, then I [F] twisted its lid,
And when I set [C] it down [D] again, this is [G] what it did.
[C] It went zip when it [G] moved, bop when it [C] stopped, brrrr when it [F] stood still,
I never knew [C] just what it was, [G] and I guess I [C] never will.
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
It first marched [G] left, then marched [C] right, and then marched under [G] a chair,
[F] And when I looked [C] where it had [D] gone, it wasn't [G] even there.
[C] I started to cry, [G] my daddy laughed, [C] he knew that I [F] was fine,
When I turned around, [C] my marvelous [D] toy, chugging from [G] behind,
It [C] went zip when it [G] moved, bop when it [C] stopped, brrrr when it [F] stood still,
I never knew [C] just what it [G] was, and I guess I never [C]
will.

Well, the years have passed [G] too quickly it seemed, [C] I have my own [G] little boy,
_ [F] And yesterday [C] I gave him [D] my marvelous little [G] toy,
[C] His eyes nearly popped [G] right out of his head, [C] he gave a squeal [F] of glee,
Neither one of us knows [C] just what it is, [G] but he loves it just like me.
It still [C] goes zip when it moves, [G] bop when it stops, [C] brrrr when it [F] stands still,
I never knew [C] just what it was, [G] and I guess I never [C] will.
[F] I never knew [C] just what it was, [G] and I guess I never [C] will.
