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
[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
(Do) [C] So Do
(Re) [F] La Fa
(Mi) [C] Mi Do
(Fa) [G] Re
(So) [C] So Do
(La) [F] La Fa
(Ti) [G] Do So So [G7] Fa
(Ti) So [C] Do
[C] Do-re-mi-[F] fa-so-la-ti-[C] do-[G] so-[C] do!
