[B]
Dear, dear, how queer [D#m] everything is today.
And yesterday, things went [A#] on just as usual.
[B] [D#m]
Let me [A#] think, Mr.
Rabbit.
[B] Have you seen Dinah, my cat?
She was at the [D#m] edge of this hole.
[B]
[D#m] [F]
[E]
[D#] One pill makes you larger, [E] one pill makes you small.
[D#] And the one that Mother gives you, [E] don't do anything wrong.
[F#] Go ask Alice, [F#m]
[B] she's ten feet [F#] tall.
[C#] And if you [D#] go chasing rabbits, [E] and you know [B] you're going to [G#m] fall,
[D#] tell America [D#m] smoking cannabis has [E] given you the fall.
[F#] Call Alice, [A]
[B] but she was [F#] just small.
On
[C#] the chessboard, get [F#] up and tell you where to go.
[C#] And you've just had some kind of mushroom, [F#] and your mind is moving slow.
Go ask [D#m] Alice, I think she'll know.
[D#] When logic and proportion [D#m] [B] have fallen [E] sloppy dead,
[D#] and the White Knight is talking [C#]
[D#m] backwards,
[E] and the Red Queen's off with her [A#m]
head,
[F#] Remember [A]
[B] what the [F#] Doormouse said.
Seize your head,
[C#] [F#] seize your head.
[C#] Seize [F#] your head, [F#m] seize
[C#] [F#] [F#m] your head.
[C#m] [F#]
[C#m] [F#] [C#m]
[F#] And you've [E] just had some [F#]
kind of mushroom, and [A#]
[D#m] your mind is moving sloppy dead,
[G#m] and the White Knight is talking backwards.
