Chords from the offical piano/vocal song book

FJack and Jill went up the hill to
C/Efetch a pail of water, so they say
Bb  the subsequent fall was inevitable
Bbm/DbThey never stood a chance they were written that way
FInnocent victims
C        Bbof their story.

FLike Romeo and Juliet, 'Twas written in the 
Cstars before they even met
BbThat love and fate (and a touch of stupidity)
Bbm/DbWould rob them of their hope of living happily.
FThe endings are often
C            Bba little bit gory.
FI wonder why they didn't just
C            Bbchange their story.
FWe're told we have to do what we're
C            Bbtold, but surely
BbSometimes you have to be
C            Fa little bit naughty.

[Chorus:]
BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it
F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it,
FNothing will change.
BbEven if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you
CMight as well be saying
A7you think that it's OK,
A Dm CAnd that's not right.

Bb C/E F Bb

FCinderella, in the cellar,
CDidn't have to do much as far as I could tell.
BbHer Godmother was two thirds fairy.
BbSuddenly her lot was a lot less scary.
FBut what if you haven't got
C           Bba fairy to fix it?
BbSometimes you have to make
C           Fa little bit of mischief.

[Chorus:]
BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it
F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it,
FNothing will change.
BbEven if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you
CMight as well be saying
A7you think that it's OK,
A Dm CAnd that's not right.
Bb              Dm C FAnd if it's not right,
                Dm E7 A7you have to put it right.

DmIn the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt.
AThe seeds of a war in the creak of a floorboard.
DmA storm can begin with the flap of a wing.
BmThe tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting.
BbEvery day starts with the tick of a clock.
F/AAll escapes start with the click of a lock.
GmIf you're stuck in your story and want to get out,
F/AYou don't have to cry; you don't have to shout.

Bb'Cause if you're little, you can do a lot, you
F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you
FWon't change a thing.
BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it
F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it,
CYou might as well be saying
Ayou think that it's OK.
               Dm Dm/CAnd that's not right.
Bb             Dm C/E And if it's not right,
F              Dm E7 A7you have to put it right.

GmBut nobody else is gonna
Cput it right for me.
Am7Nobody but me is gonna
D7change my story.
GmSometimes you have to be
C            C Fa little bit naughty.

Ends on F
