Put Your Finger in the Air

By Woody Guthrie
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.176
D - / - A7 / D GD / DA D

1. Put your finger in the air, in the air (2x)
Put your finger in the air, leave it there about a year (or: "and let it wiggle there")
Put your finger in the air, in the air

2. Put your finger on your head / tell me is it green or red?
3. Put your finger on your nose / and feel the cold wind blow
4. Put your finger on your shoe / leave it there a week or two
5. Put your finger on your chin / that's where the food slips in
6. Put your finger on your cheek / leave it there about a week
7. Put your finger on your finger on your finger / on your finger... (or: "and leave it there to linger")
8. Put your fingers all together, all together / in both dark and stormy weather (or: "and clap for better weather")

If you'd like to play it to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It" do this:
D A7 / - D / G D / A D
Rise Up Singing lists no author for "If You're Happy and You Know It", but mentions it's "based on [the] traditional hymn "Watch Your Eyes" which has the same tune."


That's all!
