May I

Gordon Lightfoot

key: E Tuning: E A D G B E
B

[Verse 1]
E                 B
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
B
Ring around the rosy and I'll catch you if I can
B
And if you don't say may I, then you'll have to start again
B
But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
B
Let the game begin

[Verse 2]
E           B
I adore you when you touch me
B
Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
B
And if you don't say may I, then I'll pass the cake around
B
And I won't give you any, but you won't make a sound
B
You don't eat soap, anyhow

[Verse 3]
E                       B
Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
B
You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do
B
But if you don't say may I, then I'll march you out the door
B
Where you'll be contemplating the numbers one to four
B
I hope you're keeping score
B
Cause if you don't say may I, then I'll get you with the hose
B
And spoil your Sunday clothes

[Verse 4]
E                  B
Will it please you if I tease you
B
While you're at the spindry, I'll pass the pie around
B
But you won't make a sound
B
You don't eat blackbird anyhow
B
There's four and twenty reasons why it can't be wrong
B
How long have you been gone

[Outro]
E                 B
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
C#m           B
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
A                   F#m7
Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers
A   D A  E
