Capo 3
DD
In a puddle by the trail,
CG
Flips his tiny tail,
CG
Just like a great big whale,
AD
But smaller than a snail.
DD
He's a pollywog in a bog,
CG
Swims under soggy logs,
CG
One day he'll be a frog
AD
Pollywog in a bog.
D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
D
Oh, oh oh.
C
Oh, oh, oh.
G
Oooooooooh, Oh, oh-oh,
D
Oh, oh-ho.

It's a pollywog in a bog
CG
Swims under soggy logs
CG
One day he'll be a frog
AD
Pollywog in a bog
DD
Overhead a cedar tree
CG
Gives the shade he needs
CG
Munching while he feeds
AD
On lily pads and weeds
DD
Knows not where he's from
CG
Or how his life had begun
CG
He's not the only one
AC
And soon he'll breathe through lungs
CG
It's hard to believe
CG
With the arms you'll receive
CA
You'll lift your head
CG
Above the water and breathe
CG
Gills shrink away
CA
And may there come a day
CG
When you reach the shore
AD
With a whole world to explore
GG
(Ribbit, ribbit, a tadpole exhibit
AmC
It's a transformation no one can inhibit
AmC
Amphibian change may seem strange
DG
Take them gills and the tail and they all rearrange
GG
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
AmC
Hop to the top of the stump, stump
AmC
Out come the legs for the jump, jump
DG
Hop to the top of the stump, stump)
GG
Where the mud is deep
AmC
Frost will soon creep
AmC
And without a peep
DG
A frog is fast asleep
GG
It was a pollywog in a bog
AmC
Swam under soggy logs
AmC
In the morning fog
DG
Pollywog in a bog

In the morning fog
