Let's [G]start at the very beginning
A [G]very good place to start
When you [F]read you begin with [C]A-B-C
When you [F]sing you be[C]gin with do-re-mi
[C]Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The [G]first three [F]notes just [C]happen to be
[C]Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[C]Do-re[F]-mi-fa[C]-so-la-[G]ti
Let's see if I can make it easy
[C]Doe, a deer, a female deer
[G7]Ray, a drop of golden sun
[C]Me, a name I call myself
[G7]Far, a long, long way to run
[C]Sew, a needle pulling [F]thread
[D7]La, a note to follow [G7]Sew
[E7]Tea, a drink with jam and [Am]bre[C7/Bb]ad
That will [F]bring us [G]back to [C]Do (oh-oh-oh)
(Repeat verse twice)
[C]Do-re-mi-[F]fa-so-la-ti-[C]do-[G]so-[C]do!
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a
million different tunes by mixing them up.
[C]So Do [F]La Fa [C]Mi Do [G]Re
[C]So Do [F]La Ti [C]Do [G]Re [C]Do
While repeating: [C] [F] [C] [G]
But it doesn't mean anything.
So we put in words. One word
for every note. Like this.
[C]When you [F]know the [C]notes to [G]sing
[C]You can [F]sing most [C]an[G]yt[C]hing
(repeat above verse twice)
[C]Doe, a deer, a female deer
[G]Ray, a drop of golden sun
[C]Me, a name I call myself
[F]Far, a long, long way to run
[C]Sew, a needle pulling [F]thread
[D]La, a note to follow [G]Sew
[E]Tea, a drink with jam and [Am]bread
That will [F]bring us [G]back to [C]Do
[C]Do [G]Re [C]Mi [F]Fa [C]So [F]La [G]Ti [C]Do
[C]Do [G]Ti [F]La [C]So [F]Fa [C]Mi [G]Re
[C]Do Mi Mi
[C]Mi So So
[G]Re Fa Fa
[G]La Ti Ti
[C]When you [F]know the [C]notes to [G]sing
[C]You can [F]sing most [C]an[G]yt[C]hing!
(In this verse, a G is
actually played instead of an F,
but I think it sounds better this way)
[C]Doe, a deer, a female deer
[G]Ray, a drop of golden sun
