Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A real easy to play and fun to sing song. Raffi was one of my favorite singers growing up, and all of his songs mean a lot to me. No capo in the original key. The same pattern of chords just repeats for the rest of the song, so I won't rewrite them.
GD There are lots of things for me to do
G On my way home, I'll tell you a few
D I can watch a squirrel climb up a tree
G Or make a buzz like a bumblebee
GDEmC And that's what I might do today
GDG On my way home
When it's pouring, and it rained outside Sometimes I wanna stay in and hide But with my boots and raincoat, I'm okay Splashing in the puddles, don't get in my way 'Cause that's what I might do today On my way home
When it's cold and snow is on the ground I can go to the hill and slide right down Make a snow angel or build a snowman Have some hot chocolate and do it again And that's what I might do today On my way home
And when it's hot I'm in sneakers and shorts I can play tag or build some forts I can walk alone or with my friends Making up a song that never ends And that's what I might do today On my way home Yes that's what I might do today On my way home
