Verse 1:

            G
        I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye
             Am
        Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree
             G
        And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
                   Bb      Eb/Bb Bb
        Which was letting in water (letting in water)
                                             (letting in water)

[repeat 4/4 section of intro]

Verse 2:

        I walked through a field that just wasn't real
        With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder
        And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
        Which was letting in water (letting in water)
                                             (letting in water)

Bridge:

        (mellotron: E/Bb tritone, raised gradually to F#/C over 4 bars)

        F                Eb        C        [2X]
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

        (Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
         What flew through a crack in the cloud
         To a place where happiness reigned all year round
         And music played ever so loudly)

        (mellotron: F#/C tritone, lowered gradually to E/Bb over 2 bars)

Verse 3:

        I started to fall and suddenly woke
        And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat
        And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
        Which was letting in water (letting in water)
                                             (letting in water)

Coda:

        instrumental (w/wordless backup vocals) over B chord; fade out
          and fade back in
