G# E B F#
i have a drink , i start to sink
C#m E B E F#
i put my toe in the ocean
G# E B F#
i have a drink , i start to sink
C#m E B E F#
another toe in the ocean

G# E B F#
down on the shelf , an elf i saw
C#m E B E F#
i took his picture , he was waving
G# E B F#
i passed again and now they’re gone
C#m E B E F#
i think my picture is worth saving

F#
no more waiting for a new deed
A
you’ve got to swim sometimes
B C#
i’ll be here for the rest of my life
E G#
up in the land of green
B C#
making love in the cool , black sand
E
thinking where i’ve been

G# E B F#
ooh – ooh
C#m E B E F#
i put my toe in the ocean
G# E B F#

C#m E B E
another toe in the ocean

[ verse 2 ]
merry making with the fairies
going down to the onion patch
to you and me , to shining seas
i see the lights of edward thatch
