Song: The House At The Top Of A Tree
Album: No!
F Bb F C
There’s a house at the top of a tree
F Bb A
There’s a house at the top of a tree
Dm C
In the house there’s a room
F Bb
In the room there’s a chair
F Bb
And sitting in the chair is
F Dm Bb C F
Y — o — o — o — o — o — o — o — o -u
C C F
There’s a nose at the end of a snout
C C F
Of a dog with his head out the window
Bb C Bb C
Of a car that’s driving away from a tree
F Bb
And at the top of the tree
F Bb
There’s a house, and in the house
F Bb
There’s a room, and in the room
F Bb
There’s a chair, and in the chair is
F Dm Bb C F
Y — o — o — o — o — o — o — o — o -u
F Bb F C
There’s a plan to eat the house
F Bb A
In the mind of a mouse in the woods
Bb C Bb C
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that’s detected
Bb C Bb C
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
F Bb F Bb
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
F Bb F Bb
And the car is driving away from a tree
F Bb
And at the top of the tree
F Bb
There’s a house, and in the house
F Bb
There’s a room, and in the room
F Bb
There’s a chair, and in the chair is
F Dm Bb C F
Y — o — o — o — o — o — o — o — o -u
C C F
There are no more potato chips left
C C F
In the empty bag in your hand
Bb C Bb C
And the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Bb C Bb C
Makes the mice get mad and when the mice get mad
Bb C Bb C
It leads to a plan to eat the house
Bb C Bb C
And the plans in the mind of a mouse in the woods
Bb C Bb C
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that’s detected
Bb C Bb C
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
F Bb F Bb
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
F Bb F Bb
And the car is driving away from a tree
F Bb
And at the top of the tree
F Bb
There’s a house, and in the house
F Bb
There’s a room, and in the room
F Bb
There’s a chair, and in the chair is
F Dm Bb C F
Y — o — o — o — o — o — o — o — o -u
C C F
And the reason there are no more chips
C C F
In the empty bag in your hand
Bb C Bb C
Is that the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Bb C Bb C
Makes the mice get mad, which leads to a plan
Bb C Bb C
To eat the house, but just in time
Bb C Bb C
The dog arrives to give to the mouse
F Bb F Bb
The potato chips that you took from the bag
F Bb F Bb
And gave to the dog to deliver to the mouse
F Bb
So the mouse would not eat
F Dm Bb C F
Y — o — o — o — o — o — o — o — o -u
