D5 G5 G5/F# B5 E5

Now, once upon a time, an old man told me a fable.

G5 E5 C5 Am7 D5 D/F#

When the piper is gone and the soup is cold on your table.

D/F# G5 G5/F# B5 E5

And if the black crow flies to find a new destination.

G5 E5 D5 A5

That is the sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

A5 D5

Come tonight, come to the ogre site. Come to the ogre battle fight.

He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean.

With a mighty tongue he catches flies and the palm of his hand incredible size.

One great big eye has a focus in your direction.

Now the battle is on. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Come tonight, come to the ogre site. Come to the ogre battle fight.

The ogre men are still inside the two-way mirror mountain.

You gotta keep down, right out of sight.

A5 B5

You can't see in but they can see out. Ooh, keep a look out!

The ogre men are coming out from the two-way mirror mountain.

They're running up behind and they're coming all about.

Can't go east 'cause you gotta go south.

INTRUMENTAL OVER: D5 Csus2 G Csus2 D Csus2 G D

Ogre men are going home, the great big fight is over.

Dm7 D5 D6(no3) E5 Am

Bugle blow! Let trumpet cry! Ogre battle-- lives forever more!

D5 A5 Am Bm

Oh, you can come along, you can come along, come to ogre battle!
