The Divine Comedy - My Lovely Horse (From Father Ted)
Written by Neil Hannon.
Featured in the comedy series Father Ted
Episode: A Song For Europe.


C         G      Am                  Fmaj7
My lovely horse, running through the field
C                              G                       Am      Fmaj7
Where are you going, with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?


C                         G            Am                Famj7
I want to shower you with sugar lumps, and ride you over fences
C                        G           Am                         Fmaj7
Polish your hooves every single day, and bring you to the horse dentist


C         G      Am               Fmaj7
My lovely horse, you're a pony no more
C                     G                        Am             Fmaj7
Running around with a man on your back, like a train in the night
                    C
Like a train in the night

Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer - Stevie Wonder


C         F                    C
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
C               F                   D7   Am
I thought you would go then come back home
Dm            A7                  Dm
I thought the cold would leave by summer
       Bb              A           Ab  G
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

C         F                    C
You said there would be warm love in springtime

That was when you started to be cold

But now I find myself all alone

Said you'd be the one to see the way
Em       B7                    Em
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer

But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

The Best Day Ever - Spongebob Squarepants


C E Am G

     C                   C            F  G
Mr. Sun came up and he smiled at me

Said "it's gonna be a good one, just wait and see"
C              E         Am
Jumped out of bed, and I ran outside
        G
Feeling so ecstatic, satisfied.

         C    G   C     F    C   F  G
It's the best day ever (best day ever)

It's the best day ever (best day ever)

I'm so busy, got nothing to do
Spent the last 2 hours just tying my shoe
Every flower, every grain of sand
Is reaching out out to shake my hand

(chorus)

C      E        Am                   C       E    Am
Sometimes the little things start closing in on me
         A#       F             A#         F
When I'm feeling down, I wanna lose that frown
           C            G           C    G
I stick my head out the window and look around

       C                           C              F  G
Those crowds don't scare me, they can't disguise

Its magic that's happening right before my eyes
C         E           Am
Soon Mr. Moon will be shining bright
        G
So the best day ever can last all night
          G#
Yeah, the best day ever's gonna last all night, now.
         C#    G#   C#     F#    C#   F# G#
It's the best day ever (best day ever 

It's the best day ever (best day ever (repeat to fade)
