Lyrics and Chords

Intro:
E | E:A/B:E! | E | E:E:D:D#
E | C#m | A | B

Verse 1:
E                C#m
  I'd like to be     under the sea
      A                         B    B7
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.
E                C#m
  He'd let us in     knows where we've been
       A                         B
In his Octopus's Garden in the shade.

C#m                                  B
  I'd ask my friends to come and see
A               B
  An Octopus's Garden with me.
E                C#m
  I'd like to be     under the sea
      A          B              E
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

Verse 2:
E                  C#m
  We would be warm     below the storm
        A                           B     B7
In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
E                  C#m
  Resting our head     on the seabed
      A                        B
In an Octopus's Garden near a cave.

C#m                              B
  We would sing and dance around
A                     B
  Because we know we can't be found.
E                C#m
  I'd like to be     under the sea
      A          B              E
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

Verse 3:
E                C#m
  We would shout     and swim about
     A                           B     B7
The coral that lies beneath the waves.
E                  C#m
  Oh, what joy for ev'ry girl and boy
  A                                B
Knowing they're happy and they're safe.

C#m                                B
  We would be so happy you and me,
 A                               B
No one there to tell us what to do.
E                C#m
  I'd like to be     under the sea
      A          B          C#m
In an Octopus's Garden with you.
