Swinging On A Star Tabulatur von Bing Crosby (für Baryton)

[Intro]
G E7 A7 D7 G

[Chorus]
           E7                  A7  D7
Would you like to swing on a star
                           G  E7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
                           A7  D7
And be better off than you are
                          G  C
Or would you rather be a mule?

[Verse 1]
  G          C           G          C
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
   G           C           G    C
He kicks up at anything he hears
    A7                     D7              
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
     A7                       D7
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
           G           C             G     E7
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
A7           D7         G  
You may grow up to be a mule

[Chorus 2]

             E7                  A7  D7
Or Would you like to swing on a star
                           G  E7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
                           A7  D7
And be better off than you are
                          G  C
Or would you rather be a Pig?


[Verse 2]
   G         C           G           C
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
    G           C        G        C
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
     A7                     D7
He's got no manners when he eats his food
      A7                 D7                          
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
           G            C            G   E7
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
A7           D7         G
You may grow up to be a pig

[Chorus 3]

             E7                  A7  D7
Or Would you like to swing on a star
                           G  E7
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
                           A7  D7
And be better off than you are
                          G  C
Or would you rather be a Fish?
[Verse 3]
  G             C            G         C
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
   G               C               G  C
He can't write his name or read a book
   A7                     D7
To fool the people is his only thought
    A7                       D7
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
                 G       C                G   E7
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
A7           D7         G
You may grow up to be a fish

[Chorus 3]
            E7                    A7 D7
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
                             G   E7
Everyday you'll meet quite a few
                          A7 D7
So you see it's all up to you 
                           G  E7 A7
You can be better than you are 

[Outro]
             D7            G  
You could be swingin' on a star  (i do 3x)
