DAVID BOWIE - COME AND BUY MY TOYS


D    Am    C    G6


D                 Am          D               Am
Smiling girls and rosy boys,  come and buy my little toys,

D                 Am          D               G           D    Am
monkeys made of ginger bread and sugar horses painted red.

D                 Am                   D                  Am 
Rich men's children running past their fathers dressed in hose,

D               Am          D              G
golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes.

F6              G             F6                  G
Gazing eyes and running wild, past the stocks and over stiles,

F6               G               Am              D    Am  D  Am
kiss the wind oh merry child but come and buy my toys!

       D                   Am                D            Am 
You've watched your father plough the fields with a ram's horn,

D                  Am             D               G             D  Am
sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn.

D                Am               D                   Am
Reaped it with a sharpened scythe, threshed it with a quill,

    D                Am               D                  G  
the miller told your father that he'd worked it with the greatest will.

F6                  G             F6                  G
Now your watching's over you must play with girls and boys,

F6                G               Am              D     Am  D  Am 
leave the parsley on the stalls,  come and buy my toys!


F         G7    C       F                G7        C       G
You shall own a cambric shirt, you shall work your fathers land,
                  D           G      D        G        Gm   D    Am  D  Am 
but now you shall play in the market square,  till you be a man.

D                 Am         D               Am 
Smiling girls and rosy boys, come and buy my little toys,

D               Am               D            G
monkeys made of ginger bread and sugar horses painted red.
