A Place in the Choir - Celtic Thunder
CHORUS: - INTRO [NC] ACAPELLA & CLAP
|C
| All God's creatures got a place in the choir,
|G C
| Some sing low and some sing higher,
| F C
| Some sing out loud on the telephone wire,
|G C
| Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now.
|[REPEAT CHORUS with strumming]
[C] Listen to the top where the little bird sings,
And the [G] melodies, and the high notes ringing,
And the [F] hoot-owl cries over every [C] thing,
And the [G] blackbird [C] disagrees.
Singing in the night time, singing in the day,
And the [G] little duck quacks, and he's on his way,
And the [F] otter hasn't got much to [C] say,
And the porcupine [G] talks to [C] himself.

[C] [G] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
[C] The dogs and the cats, they take up the middle,
Where the [G] honeybee hums, and the cricket fiddles,
The [F] donkey brays, and the pony [C] neighs,
And the old gray [G] badger [C] sighs.
[C] Listen to the bass it's the one on the bottom,
Where the [G] bullfrog croaks, and the hippopotamus,
[F] moans and groans with a big to [C] do,
And the [G] old cow just goes [C] moo.

[C] It's a simple song, a little sung everywhere,
By the [G] ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The [F] dopey alligator and the hawk [C] above,
The [G] sly old weasel and the [C] turtledove.
