Seldom do I look for anything on the interweb and not find it. So imagine my shock, shock I tell you, when I could not find an adequate guitar chord chart for Nick Lucas’s 1929 hit “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.” Everybody seems to have tabbed it for ukulele, probably because of Tiny Tim.
Below is my contribution to the world of music, in correction of this grave oversight. Interweb, you may thank me later.
Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Burke/Dubin, 1926
(C/G = 332010; Cmaj7/G = 332000)
C/G Am7 Dm G
Tiptoe through the window
C/G Cmaj7/G F Fm
By the window, that is where I'll be
C/G Am7 Dm G C/G G7
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
C/G Am7 Dm G
Oh, tiptoe from your pillow
C/G Cmaj7/G F Fm
To the shadow of the willow tree
C/G Am7 Dm G C/G C7
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
F Em A7
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
Em D7 G7
We'll keep the showers away
C/G Am7 Dm G
And if I kiss you in the garden
C/G Cmaj7/G F Fm
In the moonlight, will you pardon me?
C/G Am7 Dm G C/G
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
