🎸 Verse:
     C          C7
Past the fourth turn, by the barn
     F               Fm
Where Mrs Fullman lived till she passed on
C             A7
There is a cottage by the lakeside
   D7         G  G7
Where fairies come out at night



     C        C7
There’s a music box in the bedroom
       F     Bb7
It’s playing songs from 1922
      C        A7
And if you listen for long enough
    D7             G G7
You’ll fall asleep and might wake up

🎸 Chorus:
C
Walking in a wonderland
C
Played in by a marching band
F              Fm
Reaching for a peach, from a shiny purple tree

 C
A butterfly the size of you offers to go flying with you
F               Fm     C
Climb onto her back, and doze off as you relax

🎸 Verse:
     C        C7
Past the light post by the sea
      F        Fm
There is a forest, with no trees
      C        A7
There is a garden, by the wayside
   D7        G   G7
Where flowers grow overnight

     C        C7
There’s a music box in the bay
      F         Bb7
down on the sea bed not so far away
      C      A7
and if you lean in just close enough
     D7              G   G7
you’ll be taken by the water and might wake up

🎸 Chorus:
C
Walking in a wonderland
C
Played in by the singing sand
F             Fm
Waking from a dream, on an underwater beach

 C
A manta ray the brightest blue, offers to go flying with you
F               Fm     C
Lay down on her back, and doze off as you relax

🎸 Verse:
    C       C7
All the places in your dreams,
     F      Fm
are they fiction or a memory
    C        A7
If you listen for long enough,
      F   Fm
you’ll fall asleep...
