F          C
Please forgive me
F          C
If I appear unkind
F                C
But any fool can tell you
                 G
It’s all in your mind

F             C
Down in the meadow
F             C
The old lion stirs
F                          C
Puts his hand ‘cross his mouth
                   G - F - G
He has no use for words
             Dm      G
Poor little girl
                      Dm     G
With your handful of snow
             Dm
Poor little girl
    C          G  F  G
Had no way to know

    F             G
And you’ve got me eating
F              G
You’ve got me eating
 F              C
You’ve got me eating
                  Am
Right out of your hand

(over violin solo)
Am - G - Am - G - C - G - F - G

I mean you no harm
When I tell you you’re blind
Give a sucker an even break
He’ll lose it all, every time

The airborne starlings circle
Over the frozen fields
The hollyhocks hang harmlessly
And the old lion yields

And you’ve got me eating
You’ve got me eating
You’ve got me eating
                  Am
Right out of your hand
         F           G           C
Got me eating right out of your hand
         F           G           C
got me eating right out of your hand
Got me eating right out of your hand
