Verse 1
In a [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cavern, in a canyon,
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] excavating for a		 [D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] mine;
dwelt a [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] miner, forty-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fifth] nine,
Herring [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] boxes without		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] topses,
Sandals [D7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
