A
The sun is up for me
    D                    C             A
But I know a beauty that shines it out
A
I can hardly see
C                 G                     A
Oh when she is up letting her veil down
A
But it could never be
  D                    C                   A
I’m just a shepherd hiding from the hounds
A
She’s a fantasy
     C                 G                           A
With flowers and bows, pretty coats and a silver crown

A
Every day goes by
     D                      C              A
The sun and the moon making out in the sky
A
We keep each other warm
   C                G                   A
Snuggling up in the dark, Mr. Sheep and I
A
Join my favorite dream
D                      C
She sings me lullabies all through the night
A
And wakes me with a kiss
C                         G
Sweet taste of apples and wild strawberries
       C             D
I’m in love with her majesty
C
Yeah!

Am                      C
So whatcha gonna do?  (ooh!)
        D                   Am
I wanna build the dream for two
Am
So what’s it gonna be?
    C                        D              Am
I’m jumpin’ up and down, but she can’t see
Am
I think you got a chance
     C                D
Just move on over and ask her to dance!
      C*                             D*
I got silly feet and a lousy beat so how on earth could I make her want me?

A
I think it’s gonna rain today
     D                       C                  A
And I’m here on one hill and she’s on the other
A
The clouds are in my way
       C
As the sky opens up
D                  A
Letting her veil down
A
Covering my queen
       D                             C                    A
Well, I’m still just a shepherd, so why should I bother?
A
The valley in between
     C                    G
Gets deeper and deeper as time passes by
      C              D*
Gonna love her til I die
             D*
So why don’t I
                  D                    D*
Just make like a prince and give it a try

Am
So what’s it gonna be?
         C                       D         Am
I could slingshot myself like a bumblebee
Am
So watcha gonna do?
   C               D          Am
Use Mr. Sheep as a parachute
Am
On the count of three
     C                D
I’m off to claim my fantasy
   C*
In my best clothes
                        C*
buttoned up with a rose
    D*
I’m on my way to make you love me

I’ll be your man

In your castle made of sand
           Fm                 Em     Am
Watch your head, my love, I’m coming over
B            E               A
Just so that I can hold your hand

On the count of two

I'm gonna slingshot myself like a bumblebee

On the count of one!
A7sus4       D        A7sus4    D
Okay, here I go, in a minute or so

I'm off in the blue on my way to you
