Capo on the second fret 
 

     G 
Well when I was young my momma read me 
C 
Nursery rhymes beside my bed 
    G 
And though they sounded mighty fine 
     D 
They made no sense to me 
    G 
But now that I am all grown up 
   C 
It seems my life has changed as such 
   G 
So I went out and made me up 
  D                 G 
A nursery Rhyme for me 
 
CHORUS 
        G 
It goes bar light, bar bright 
C 
First bar that I see tonight 
  G 
I wish I may I wish I might 
D 
Find someone to hold me tight 
G 
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle 
        C 
And the girls sing along with the tunes 
     G 
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights 
        D              G 
And you shut down this saloon 
 
 
Well I never understood how a big old gal 
Could raise no kids in a shoe 
And any old Jack goes jumping in a candle 
Needs to find something better to do 
And rub a dub dub, three men in a tub 
Sure sounds kind of funny to me 
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme 
and it's the only one I'll sing 
 
CHORUS
