[C]Christopher [Dm]Robin and [Em7]I walked a[Am]long,
under [F]branches lit [G7]up by the [C]moon [F] [G7]
[C]Posing our [Dm]questions to [Em7]Owl and Ee[Am]yore,
as our [F]days disa[G7]ppeared all too [C]soon
But I’ve [Am]wandered much further to[Em7]day than I should
And I [F]can’t seem to find my way [Dm]back to the [G7]wood


[C]So, help me [Em7]if you [Dm]can, I’ve [G7]got to get
[C]Back to the [Em7]house at Pooh [Dm]Corner by [G7]one
[C]You’d be sur[Em7]prised, there’s so [Dm]much to be [G7]done
[Em]Count all the bees in the [C]hive,
[Em7]chase all the clouds in the [Am]sky
[F]Back to the [Em7]days of [Am]Christopher Robin
and [Bbmaj7]Pooh…


[F] [G7]


[C]Winnie the [Dm]Pooh doesn’t [Em7]know what to [Am]do,
got a [F]honey jar [G7]stuck on his [C]nose [F] [G7]
[C]He came to [Dm]me asking [Em7]help and [Am]advice,
and [F]from here no one [G7]knows where he [C]goes
So, I [Am]sent him to ask of the [Em7]Owl if he’s there
How to [F]loosen a jar from the [Dm]nose of a [G7]bear


[C]So, help me [Em7]if you [Dm]can, I’ve [G7]got to get
[C]Back to the [Em7]house at Pooh [Dm]Corner by [G7]one
[C]You’d be sur[Em7]prised, there’s so [Dm]much to be [G7]done
[Em]Count all the bees in the [C]hive,
[Em7]chase all the clouds in the [Am]sky


[F]Back to the [Em7]days of [Am]Christopher Robin,
[F]Back to the [Em7]ways of [Am]Christopher Robin,
[F]Back to the [Em7]ways of [Am]Pooh…
