[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
There once was a girl in the olden days
Am Am Em7 Em7 Am Am D D
Grew weary of men with a roving gaze -
Am Am G G Am Am G G Am Am
'Farewell, fickle lovers; goodbye, goodbye,
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
For I'm falling in love with the man in the sky.'

[Verse]
A A Bm Bm
The man in the sky, he walks in haste
D7 D7 C#m C#m
With three bright buckles around his waist
C#m C#m Bm Bm
And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
Am Am Em Em A A
And a steady gleam in his golden eye.

[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
The girl went out on a windy hill
Am Am D D Am Am D D
And cried when the night was dark and still -
Am Am G G Am Am G G
'Come down! come down! you man in the sky,
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Or else I am likely to pine and die.'

[Verse]
A A D7 D7
The man in the sky didn't stop to talk;
D7 D7 A A
He went right on with his evening walk
C#m C#m Bm Bm
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
Am Am Em Em A A
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd.

[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
She took to her bed from the light of the sun,
Am Am D D Am Am D7 D7
But when the sun his course had run
Am Am G G Am Am Em Em
She went to her window so high, so high,
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
And waited and watched Orion go by.

[Verse]
A A D7 D7
The man in the sky, he walked in haste
D7 D7
With three bright buckles around his waist
C#m C#m Bm Bm
And a great dog near and a little dog nigh
Am Am Em Em A A
And a gleam for her in his golden eye.

[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
One night she stood on her windowsill
Am Am D D Am Am D D
And stepped right out on the highest hill
Am Am G G Am Am G G
And climbed to the place where the planets are
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
And jumped from there to the nearest star.

[Verse]
A A C#m C#m
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
D7 D7 C#m C#m
And waked the dragon and roused the bear
C#m C#m Bm Bm
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
Am Am Bm Bm A A
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd.

[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
She found Orion at last, and then
Am Am D D Am Am D7 D7
She found he was just like other men.
D7 D7 Am Am G G
When on his shoulder her head she'd lay
Am Am Em Em Am Am
His eye was a million miles away.

[Verse]
A A D7 D7
The great dog howled and the little dog whined
D7 D7 D D
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
C#m C#m Bm Bm
And the dragon snarled and the lion roared
Am Am Em Em Am Am
And the stars flew by in a golden horde.

[Verse]
Am Am Em Em Am Am Em Em
This tale has a moral brief to tell;
Am Am D D Am Am D D
And I won't go on, for you know it well.
D D Am Am G G Caug Caug G G
Remember the girl in the days gone by
Am Am Em Em Am Am
Who fell in love with the man in the sky.

[Verse]
A A D7 D7
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
D7 D7 C#m C#m
And waked the dragon and roused the bear;
C#m C#m D7 D7
And where they buried her I forget,
C#m C#m Em Em G G Am Am
But the man in the sky isn't married yet.
