The Big Black Hat

by Rolf Harris

The big black hat

CCCBGCCB

I met a man the oth-er day

GCCD+D+D+

and he was dressed in a

E+E+D+CGGC

Ver-y strange way with a great

CCCCCCC

big hat with a big black brim

GCCCGCCBB

And that’s not all a-round his an-kle

GGCCB

was a great big chain

GCCCCD+D+D+E+D+C

And drag-gin on the chain was a big black ball

e.

I met a man the other day and he was dressed
in a very strange way
With a great big hat with a big black brim
And a black striped band and that’s not all
And a pair of dark glasses on his nose
And a false moustache
And a pale pink sunshade held up high
