[INTRO]
[Am] [Dm] [Am]
[VERSE 1]
I used to know a [G]pretty [Am]girl
Who [G]cut off all her [Am]hair
The [C]scissors flew a[Dm]mong the curls
And [G]curls went every[Am]where
[VERSE 2]
I gathered up the [G]fallen [Am]locks
And [G]carried them a[Am]way
And [C]put them in a [Dm]silver box
And [G]keep them to this [Am]day
[CHORUS]
[A]Song sing, birdie-with-a-wing
Perfect circle [E7]sun
The [A]grown-ups get to [D]make the rules
And [E7]we have all the [A]fun
And [D]we have [E7]all the [A]fun [D] [G] [Am]
[VERSE 3]
And now I am in [G]love with [Am]you
And [G]hope that you will [Am]stay

I’ll [G]throw the curls a[Am]way
[VERSE 4]
