Ms. Christina shares her original Sing, Rhyme, and Play Song.
Chords and Lyrics:
[C] Izzy felt little and the [G] world felt large.
There was too much to learn and the [C] big ones were in charge.
[C7] Izzy asked a star, “Where should [Dm] I begin?”
A voice said, [G7] “Start with-[C]-in.”
Start with a [C] song, a [G] story, and a [F] game.
Just [C] sing, [G] rhyme, and [F] play. [C]
You’ve got everything right in-[Dm]-side your heart,
And that’s [G7] where you [C] start.
[C] Mo had no castle to [G] live inside.
He didn’t have a carriage to [C] take him for a ride.
[C7] Mo asked a cloud, “But what [Dm] have I got?”
A voice said, [G7] “Quite a [C] lot.”
You’ve got a [C] song, a [G] story, and a [F] game.
Just [C] sing, [G] rhyme, and [F] play. [C]
You’ve got everything right in-[Dm]-side your heart,
And that’s [G7] where you [C] start.
And that’s [G7] where you [C] start.
