The Dutch Boy

	  		
Intro: Am 

verse 1 
    Am            C 
My heart it goes out to that  
 F           C 
poor little Dutch boy  
      F               C 
who stopped a great flood  
          Dm          E 
with the tip of his thumb 
           Am        C 
Through parades and medals  
F       C 
he felt no joy  
     F           C 
and took to his bed  
        E         Am 
with a bottle of rum 

Am 

verse 2 
     Am          C 
The queen she arrived  
        F    C 
in her motorcade  
    F             C 
to give the good Dutch boy 
      Dm         E 
a commemorative pen 
        Am             C 
But he watched as the milkmaids  
     F             C 
all withered and grayed  
         F            C 
and he knew that the waters  
 E          Am 
must rise again

verse 3 
             Am       C  
Because the world is made up  
    F         C 
of milk and scissors 
 F         C 
milk and scissors  
       Dm        E 
in a spiraling chain 
 Am        C 
Milk and scissors  
         F               C 
like a cheap squirting flower 
 F         C 
milk and scissors  
      E             Am 
like worms when it rains
