🎸 Verse 1:
G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
- The gymnast, high above the ground,
G+G       A augmentedA     D MajorD
- Limbers up and falls timber town
G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
- Ankles splayed and all tied
G+G     E minorEm D MajorD  G+G
- The gymnast long has arrived
   E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G
Lasy -- your long sister lays
    E minorEm    D MajorD  G+G
Waiting out this long light brigade
      E minorEm   D MajorD  G+G
Prayed for snow a long time
     E minorEm   D MajorD  G+G
And lazy -- it long has arrived

🎸 Chorus:
G+G
- Through the tarlatan holes
                   C majorC
You've been slipping, been slipping away
G+G
- And the weather will hold
               C majorC
It's been ever, so ever, so gray

It's a terrible, terrible tide
D MajorD   G+G        C majorC
As it lights upon your eye
   E minorEm      G+G         C majorC
But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade
    C minorCm         E minorEm
It's a chemical, chemical kind
    G+G        C majorC
As it lights upon your eye...
 A minorAm        C majorC
Lights upon your eye

  D MajorD G+G E minorEm         B minorBm
The bosun -- calls upon the quay
 D MajorD G+G  E minorEm            B minorBm
Compass gone, he long has lost his way
  D MajorD   G+G  E minorEm       B minorBm
To lighthouse shine, to calm tide
  D MajorD G+G E minorEm     B minorBm
The bosun -- long has arrived
