VERSE 1
E G
I really love you, and I mean you
E G A
The star above you, crystal blue
D E A
Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
TRANSITION: C G
VERSE 2
I wouldn’t see you, and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
TRANSITION: C G G# A
BRIDGE (?)
A
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
A C G Bb E
The fins a luminous
A
Fangs all ’round the clown is dark
A
Below the boulders hiding
C G E
All the sunlight’s good for us
VERSE 3
Cause we’re the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh baby, my hair’s on end about you
SOLO 1 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds
Of transitions as shown above to lead in)
REPEAT BRIDGE
SOLO 2 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds
Of transitions as shown above to lead in)
REPEAT VERSE 1
END
Notes: I basically use all E and A shape barre chords for this, which
Makes it an easy and fun song to play.
The lyrics listed for the bridge were provided by Graham Clarke
