[C5]We've all [G5]left the den, [A5]let me tell you [F5]'bout it.
[C5] [A5] [G5]
Choo-choo train left right on time.

[C5]Guess what [G5]I receive[A5]d in the [F5]mail today.
[C5]Words of [G5]deep concern [A5]from my little [F5]brother.
The [C5]building's not [A5]goin' as it's [G5]planned.
The [C5]foreman has [A5]injured his [G5]hand.
The [C5]dozer will [A5]not clear its [G5]path.
The [C5]driver swears [A5]he learned his [G5]math.
