D
 River splashes against the rocks
      G         A
And I scale the slope,
  G        A
I hope the tracks won’t,
D
 Lead me down to dark black pits or,
G      A        G       A
Places where we fall to bits,

D
 If she were there I’d hold her down
     G        A     G         A
I’ll push her under while she drowns
D
 And couldn’t breathe and claw for air
    G       A        G     A
She doesn’t care for my despair
A

D
 Growing fins and falling in
         G          A         G     A
With the bricks the bikes the rusty tin
     D
I'll swim along without a care
    G      A         G      A
I’m eating sand when I need air
D
 You can bet your life I’ll meet a pike who’ll
G       A        G     A
Wolf me down for tea tonight
A                       D
I want to be (I want to be)

You see it in the sea

River cool’s where I belong
A                     D
 In my mersey paradise
