Dm Dm/C Dm/B Dm/A
There once was a very famous man
F C7 F
On his famous horse he'd ride through the land
Gm Dm/F Dm/E
The people used to see him everywhere
A Dm
When he died they put a statue in the square
(Hurray)

Here comes the equestrian statue

Prancing up and down the square

So he whistles as he rubs and scrubs away
(Hurray)
