It's A Great Big World

I bought a bonnet to suit my face
I had my petticoat trimmed with lace
I looked at the mirror, around I twirled
And then I went out in the wide, wide world

I dreamed of gentlemen I would meet
I saw them all kneeling at my feet
I can't understand [Bm]it, my [A]hair is all [Em]curled
But my [A]goodness me, it's a great big world

[Chorus:]
And it's a cold, cold, cold and [Bm]we'll soon [C7]be [Am]old
Alas and [Bm]a lack, it's a great big world.

I learned to [C7]sew and [Bm]I learned to [C7]bake
I even frosted an angel cake
On Saturday evening, when folks dropped in
My house was [Am7]as neat as a brand [Bm]new pin

I thought by learning each social grace
A chap might learn to [C7]forget my [A]face
I can't understand [Bm]it, I've knitted and [Bm]pearled
But my [A]goodness me it's a great big world!

[Chorus]

I had no petticoat tɾimmed with lace
My angel cake was [Am7]a sure disgrace
My face was [Am7]my [A]fortune, my [A]mother said
And my [A]dancing slippers of bright, bright ɾed.

A million [C7]miles I've danced or more
In hopes Prince Charming would cross the floor
I can't understand [Bm]it, I've Waltzed and [Bm]I've whirled
But my [A]goodness me, it's a great big world.

[Chorus x 2]

But I'll keep on [C7]knitting and [Bm]doing it well
My slippers are one thing I never will sell
My petticoat's waiting, because who can tell?
It's a great big world, it's a great big world.
