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
