Watercolor Ponies

(início)

Am C A2 E
           Am          E7sus
There are watercolour ponies
         Am         Gm   C7
On my refrigerater door
         F        C7
And the shape of something
   Bm7          E7     Am    F  E
I don't really recognize
          Am          E7sus  E7
Drawn by careful little fingers
         Am         Gm   C7
And put proudly on display
    F              C       Bm7
A reminder to us all
     E7        Am  Fmaj7 G  Fmaj7  G
Of how time flies
           Am                  E7sus
Seems an endless mound of laundry
               Am           Gm   C7
And a stairway laced with toys
             F        C7
Gives a blow by blow
Bm7       E7     Am    F  E
Reminder of the war
              Am          E7sus  E7
That we fight for their well-being
                 Am         Gm   C7
For their greater understanding
F                      Bm7  E7
To impart a holy reverance
            A
For the Lord
(chorus)
        A               E
But, baby, what will we do
         F#m7                C#m7
When it comes back to me an you?
      D             A
They look a little less
       Bm7      E        A  E  D
Like little boys every day
              A
Oh, the pleasure of watching
         E
The children growing
    F#m7               C#m7
Is mixed with a bitter cup
                D      A       Bm7
Of knowing the watercolour ponies
          D           A
Will one day ride away
(bridge)
         Fmaj7      G    Fmaj7     G
And the vision can get so narrow
                  C              G  C
As you view through your tiny world
            Gsus             C
And little victories can go by
         G      C  G  C
With no applause
                 Am
But in the greater evaluation
             Em7
As they fly from your nest of love
          F                C
May they mount up with wings
      Bm7           Esus    E   Esus   E
As eagles for His cause
   Bm7             D                    E         D
Ponies Will one day  OO one day  one day
        E   Am  C   Esus  E    Am  C  Esus E A
 ride a    way                     OOO
