K:D {i}(When singing, do not repeat each part){/i} There's a [D]corner in the meadow where the [A]lads and lasses meet Oh they [C]do here what they couldn't do in the [G]open street They [D]play all kinds of games there, but the one I like the [G]best Is where [D]every laddie [A]rumples up the [D]cuckoo's nest. {i}Chorus:{/i} {i}It's [D]high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest{/i} {i}It's [C]high the cuckoo, low the cuckoo, high the cuckoo's nest{/i} {i}I'll [D]give any maid a shilling and a bottle of the [G]best{/i} {i}Just to [D]rumple up the [A]feathers of her [D]cuckoo's nest{/i} I [D]wooed her in the morning and I had [A]her in the night She was my [C]very first one so I [G]tried to do it right I [D]searched around and wandered and I never would have [G]guessed If she [D]hadn't showed me [A]where to find her [D]cuckoo's nest (Chorus) When she [D]showed me where to find it I knew [A]just where to go Through the [C]underbrush and brambles where the [G]little cuckoos grow From the [D]moment that I found it, she would never let me [G]rest From [D]rumpling up the [A]feathers of her [D]cuckoo's nest. (Chorus) It was [D]bushy, it was prickled, it was [A]feathered all around It was [C]tucked away so neatly and it [G]wasn't easy found She said [D]young man you're blundering, but I knew it wasn't [G]true For I [D]left her with the [A]makings of a [D]young cuckoo (Chorus)
