Leaves are falling all around,
+6    +6 +6 +6  +7 +6 -5 +5
It's time I was on my wa--y.
  +6   +6 +6 +6  +6   +6  +6 +6
Thanks to yo--u, I'm much obliged

I got to find my gir--l, on my wa--y.
+8    -9  +8  -9   -9   -9 +8  -9 +8

find the queen of all my dreams.

+6  +6  +6  +6  +6    +6  +6
Got no time to spend and weep

The time has come to be gon---e.
+6   +6  +6   +6    +6  +6  +6 +6  -5    +5

INSTRUMENTAL:

I ain't tellin' no lie.
Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Ain't nothing I can do, no.

Gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...
Gonna work my way, round the world
I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby
I can't find my bluebird!
I'd listen to my bluebird sing but I can't find my blue bird
A-keep-a ramblin' baby...
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
