The Marvelous Toy - a Peter, Paul & Mary tune

Folks,

I was trying to think of some other tunes beside the standard Christmas tunes for the grandskids for Christmas Day.

The Marvelous Toy - HiFi[2.7mb@02:43]


It's a simple tune. Capo'd on 3. Starting in the G position. The chords are G, D, C and A.

Enjoy.

LC,

I loved it! I sang this song with my buddy Kevin in 9th grade at the Christmas show. Much later, my Dad and I sat around playing guitar and singing this song together. Thanks for posting this one. It brought a smile to my face.
