G
It was eight o' clock this morning
C
When he sailed below
A7(4)
Crossing Wansey lorries on the Thames,
D
A route he must know
G
That will take him off and far away
C A7(4)
They say that he was looking for the coast
D
But if he only knew this island
G
Was causing him the most grief!
C
And can you tell what he's seen?
A7(4)
Because the lines upon his face
D
Are like a map to where he's been
G
And would you please stop?
C
The ground and all the buildings I am
A7(4)
Sinking well below,
D
I am thinking we must go
G
To the crowded house
C
Up on the corner to
A7(4) D
Where all the televisions are turned on
G
And he was famous for a while
C
Oh what a story, what a style,
A7(4)
Till that whale, till that whale
D
That got lost.
G C
Man on a boat, where have you been?
A7(4) D
I secretly wish I was your friend
G C
Your fish, they're all dead and all you'll find
A7(4) D
Are boots on the riverbed that I threw last night.
And it was nine o' clock this morning,
