F           G
There is a happy land
      A7sus4         D
where only children live
     Am             Em      Am         F
They don't have the time to learn the ways
    G
Of you, sir, Mr. Grownup

        F                        G
There's a special place in the rhubarb fields
A7sus4          D
Underneath the leaves
       Am      Em       Am     F
It's a secret place and adults aren't
   G
Allowed there, Mr. Grownup
     C
Go away, sir

Chorus:
G                                       C           G
Charlie Brown got's half a crown, he's gonna buy a kite
Em                                 C                  F        G
Jimmy's ill with chicken pox, and Tommy's learned to ride his bike
 F   Em         Am          C      Am       C             F      Em
Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he's so small we don't notice him
    D          D/A        G
He gets in the way but we always let him play with us

 F                 G
Mother calls, but we don't hear
       A7sus4                D
There's lots more things to do
     Am   Em   Am         F         G
It's only 5 o'clock, and we're not tired yet
                       C
But we will be, very shortly

Chorus:
Sissy Steven plays with girls, someone made him cry
Tony climbed a tree and fell, trying hard to touch the sky
Tommy lit a fire one day, nearly burned the field away
Tommy's mum found out, but he put the blame on me and Ray

  F         G
There is a happy land
      A7sus4         D
Where only children live
       Am        Em         Am      F
You've had your chance and now the doors
      G
Are closed, sir, Mr. Grownup
   Amaj7
Go away, sir
