[Opening]
[G] [D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] [A7] [D]
[G]Early this [D]morning I [A7]woke from a [D]dream
I [G]dreamt of a [D]valley that [A7]I would never [D]seen
A [G]magical [D]place in a [A7]faraway [D]land
With a [G]gingerbread [D]house and a [A7]gingerbread [D]man
[verse 2]
[A7]He seemed to [D]know me, [A7]to my sur[D]prise
The [A7]gingerbread [D]man was in[E7]credibly [A7]wise
[verse 3]
We [G]walked through that [D]valley and [A7]sat by a [D]stream
He [G]told me that [D]nothing’s as [A7]bad as it [D]seems
[G]Nothing is [D]perfect and [A7]nothing will [D]last
[G]Live in the [D]moment but [A7]cherish the [D]past
[interlude]
[G] [D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] [A7] [D]
[verse 4]
He [A7]told me that [D]life gets [A7]harder to [D]live
When[A7]ever we blame and [E7]never for[A7]give
[verse 5]
And [G]now as I [D]lie here a[A7]wake in my [D]bed
[G]I can re[D]call every [A7]word that he [D]said
“What[G]ever you [D]do, do the [A7]best that you [D]can”
[G]That is what he [D]told me, the [A7]gingerbread [D]man.
[interlude]
[G] [D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] [A7] [D]
[verse 6]
And he said: [Em]“Sometimes life won’t go to plan, it [D]happens.
If [Em]someone asks for help some day, it [A]could be you, don’t [A7]turn away.”
[Closing]
So what[G]ever you [D]do, do the [A7]best that you [D]can
[G]That is what I [D]learned from the [A7]gingerbread [D]man
It was [G]only a [D]dream in a [A7]faraway [D]land
But [G]we can all [D]learn from the [A7]gingerbread [D]man.
“What[G]ever you [D]do, do the [A7]best that you [D]can”
Yes [G]we can all [D]learn from the [A7]gingerbread [D]man
