We were playing in the [F]sand
And you found a little [F]band
You told you [F]fell in love
With it hasn’t gone as I [F]planned


When you had to bid a[F]dieu.
Said you’d never love a[F]new
[F]I wondered if [Bb]I could hold it,
And fall in love with it [F]too
You told me to [Bb]buy a pony,
But all I wanted was [F]you
