A          Asus2   A
Hey, girl, are you weeping
                D         Dsus2   A
'Cause it's too rainy for playing outside?
D                 A
Let's turn on the magic carpet
    E7             E6   E7
And go for an afternoon ride...
A                  D        A
I know a couple of games to play
         D5         D       Dsus2 A
And some places you haven't yet   seen;
D               Cmaj7
Come visit your daddy's world
       E7                A
on the other side of the screen.


    D             Dsus2   D5     D
    I can't bring you the silver moon
       A                        D
    To hold in the palm of your hand;
        A                   D          Dsus2
    But I can take you to a world I've made
           A                Asus2     E7
    Out of dreams and a few grains of sand;
    A                   D5       D
    I can't buy you the stars to wear
         A                        D
    Like gems in your bonny brown hair;
    A               D        Dsus2
    All I have is a magic mirror
        E7             A
    And castles in the air.

A          Asus2   A
Say hello to the creatures here:
    D           Dsus2    A
The walrus, the elephant too;
D            A
Go visit the dragon's lair,
     E7            E6  E7
He's waiting there for you...
A                 D       A
Play cards with a magical deck;
          D5           D       Dsus2 A
Learn the names of the planets and   stars;
D                Cmaj7
Take a ride on a toy balloon,
     E7             A
Or a rocket ship to Mars.


    D             Dsus2   D5     D
    I can't bring you the silver moon
       A                        D
    To hold in the palm of your hand;
        A                   D          Dsus2
    But I can take you to a world I've made
           A                Asus2     E7
    Out of dreams and a few grains of sand;
    A                   D5       D
    I can't buy you the stars to wear
         A                        D
    Like gems in your bonny brown hair;
    A               D        Dsus2
    All I have is a magic mirror
        E7             A
    And castles in the air.

A         Asus2       A
Come look through the window
        D         Dsus2   A
While I type in a magical rhyme.
D                       A
I'll show you where the hypercubes dance
       E7             E6  E7
On the edges of space and time.
A                 D          A
See the curliqued Mandelbrot set
    D5          D       Dsus2 A
Way down in the complex plane...
D                      Cmaj7
We'll forget about the world outside,
    E7              A
The thunder and the rain.


    D             Dsus2   D5     D
    I can't bring you the silver moon
       A                        D
    To hold in the palm of your hand;
        A                   D          Dsus2
    But I can take you to a world I've made
           A                Asus2     E7
    Out of dreams and a few grains of sand;
    A                   D5       D
    I can't buy you the stars to wear
         A                        D
    Like gems in your bonny brown hair;
    A               D        Dsus2
    All I have is a magic mirror
        E7             A
    And castles in the air.

 
A             Asus2      A
Do you wonder where your daddy goes
          D                Dsus2   A
When he's out of the house for the day?
D                 A
I walk through my magic mirror
    E7         E6   E7
And travel far away 
A                      D           A
To my world where with numbers and words
  D5            D      Dsus2 A
I create things out of thin air;
D                Cmaj7
There's magic in Daddy's world
    E7             A
And I can take you there.


    D             Dsus2   D5     D
    I can't bring you the silver moon
       A                        D
    To hold in the palm of your hand;
        A                   D          Dsus2
    But I can take you to a world I've made
           A                Asus2     E7
    Out of dreams and a few grains of sand;
    A                   D5       D
    I can't buy you the stars to wear
         A                        D
    Like gems in your bonny brown hair;
    A               D        Dsus2
    All I have is a magic mirror
        E7             A
    And castles in the air.

        D        Cmaj7
There's magic in Daddy's world
    E7             A     A^*
And I can take you there.

    end with \chord{A^*=EAEAC# A}


The imagery in v. 2 comes mostly from Manhole, a HyperCard game for
kids on the Macintosh--the family had a Mac II at the time.  I wrote the
rotating hypercube program that starts v. 3.  I thought about calling this
song ``The Programmer's Daughter'' but decided I'd leave that for Kanefsky.
Although as it turned out Heather Stern wrote that one.
