Verse 1:

Fmaj7Fmaj7       G+G
 Fine rock-pooling coast,
   C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
This starfish on the toast,
  Fmaj7Fmaj7              G+G
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.

Verse 2:

Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
 Far across the harbour,
   C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
And 'round the sandy cove,
  Fmaj7Fmaj7               G+G
The shepherd with his pipe and sheepy, drove.

Verse 3:

Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G
 Big cloud tumbling high,
  C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
The amazing flying sky,
Fmaj7Fmaj7              G+G
 How the gulls are pillaging the town.

Verse 4:

  Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
Fan faring daffodil-ly,
C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm   Am/GAm/G
 Trumpet-ingly small,
Fmaj7Fmaj7           G+G
 All along the bathing hut wall.

Verse 5:

Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
 Far across the empty beach,
  C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
The tide has left this world,
Fmaj7Fmaj7            G+G
 Old men in tweed find study there.

Verse 6:

Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G
 Holding whelks and periwinkles,
C majorC     C/BC/B  A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
 Tingling in his hand.
Fmaj7Fmaj7               G+G
 Little does he know they hold him too.

Verse 7:

Fmaj7Fmaj7       G+G
 Fine rock-pooling coast,
   C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
This starfish on the toast,
  Fmaj7Fmaj7              G+G
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.
