Capo 3
D D
In a puddle by the trail,
C G
Flips his tiny tail,
C G
Just like a great big whale,
A D
But smaller than a snail.
D D
He's a pollywog in a bog,
C G
Swims under soggy logs,
C G
One day he'll be a frog
A D
Pollywog in a bog.
D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
D
Oh, oh oh.
C
Oh, oh, oh.
G
Oooooooooh, Oh, oh-oh,
D
Oh, oh-ho.
D D
It's a pollywog in a bog
C G
Swims under soggy logs
C G
One day he'll be a frog
A D
Pollywog in a bog
D D
Overhead a cedar tree
C G
Gives the shade he needs
C G
Munching while he feeds
A D
On lily pads and weeds
D D
Knows not where he's from
C G
Or how his life had begun
C G
He's not the only one
A C
And soon he'll breathe through lungs
C G
It's hard to believe
C G
With the arms you'll receive
C A
You'll lift your head
C G
Above the water and breathe
C G
Gills shrink away
C A
And may there come a day
C G
When you reach the shore
A D
With a whole world to explore
G G
[Ribbit, ribbit, a tadpole exhibit
Am C
It's a transformation no one can inhibit
Am C
Amphibian change may seem strange
D G
Take them gills and the tail and they all rearrange
G G
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
Am C
Hop to the top of the stump, stump
Am C
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
D G
Hop to the top of the stump, stump]
G G
Where the mud is deep
Am C
Frost will soon creep
Am C
And without a peep
D G
A frog is fast asleep
G G
It was a pollywog in a bog
Am C
Swam under soggy logs
Am C
In the morning fog
D G
Pollywog in a bog
G G
It was a pollywog in a bog
Am C
Swam under soggy logs
Am C
In the morning fog
D G
Pollywog in a bog
G G
It was a pollywog in a bog
Am C
Swam under soggy logs
Am C
In the morning fog
D G
Pollywog in a bog
