Chords for Velveteen Love Song - words & music by Bob Franke

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My coat is all tattered _ and [G] worn to [D] _
_ shreds [G] My _ _ whiskers have wandered _ [D] _ away
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've picked up some dirt _ in some [G] _ _ [D] _ flowerbeds _ I [G] think it's in [D] there to stay
_ _ But _
_ _ _ [A] deep in your _ eyes [D] [G] are a needle and thread _ _ [Em] And wonder [F#m] that scrubs me so [G] _
clean
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ [D] I see _ in the mirror _ I [G] am [D] beautiful _ _ _ And _ [G] I pose and I laugh _ and [D] I pray _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My bottom's as out _ as [Gm] ever [D] it's been _ _ [G] And maybe a little bit [D] more
_ _ _ _ _ _ I've never believed _ _ it [G] was good for [D] much _ _ _ _ [G] Except keeping my _ ears [D] off the _ floor
_ _ But _
_ _ [A] _ then you take me [G] and toss me high _ _ I fly _ [F#m] like the _ fleetest _ _ [G] gazelle _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ And the joy of my dusty _ eye _ [G] takes in [D] your touch _ _ [G] Is more than a rabbit _ _ [D] can tell _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
eyes are just buttons _ _ of [Cm] [G] two-penny [D] glass _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ They're either too brown or [D] too green _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There's one of them might not stay [G] on _ _ too [D] much _ longer _ _ And [G] plenty both never have [D] seen
_ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _
But [A] they see their way clear _ _ [G] to a home in your _ heart _ [Em] And I live [D] [F#m] in the love that [G] you _ _ feel
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] And there of all places _ _ [G] a place of [D] my own _ _ Where a [G] _ _ _ velveteen _ rabbit _ _ is _
[Dm] free
_ _ Where _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ a _ _ _ velveteen rabbit _ _ [D] is free _ _ _ _ _ _
