Forest Melody - Key of G
By Greg McIlvaine from the CD "The Hollow Trees"

Verse:
G			G7
The Grass swishes like a Brush on a Snare
C			C7
It sends it's rhythm through the twilight air
G			E7		D	C   D
The wind is whistling through the hollow trees
G			G7
The Frog is croaking out the night's first tune
C			C7
The other animals will join in soon
G	E7	A	D	G  C  G   D
Join in to the forest melody

Verse:
The moon is rising cause he wants to hear
The music always makes the stars appear
The mole comes out of his hole so he can see
The owl is watching from the top of the pine
The music wakes him up at twilight time
Waking to the forest melody

Bridge:
C
The rabbit's thumping on the doghouse bass
G
The duck is drumming on the guitar case
A				A7
When you hear the music you just can't sit still
D9			D7
If you don't dance then the whiporwhill

(Solo over second half of verse)
Verse:
The Possum pipes up on the piccolo
The skunk is strumming on the old banjo
The four bears sing along in harmony
The turtle takes a turn on toad's trombone
The beaver blows a bit of saxophone
Blowing to the forest melody

Bridge:
The magic meadow is a musical dell
When you finally find it they will ring the bell
The jaybirds whistle and the pigeons coo
This forest melody is just for you

Slowly:
G			G7
The moon is down now and it's time to sleep
C			C7
But you'll be singing this one in your dreams
G	E7	A	D
Singing along to the forest melody
G	E7	A	D
		The forest melody
G	E7	A	D	G  C  G   D   G
Singing to the forest melody
