Intro:

C F (x4)


Verse 1:

             C
Stab a sorry heart
                    F
With your favourite finger
                      C
Paint the whole world blue
                         F
And stop your tears from stinging
                 C
Hear the cavemen singing
                  F
Good news they're bringing

Chorus:

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell


Verse 2:

          C
A longing for
             F
Some fresher feeling
          C
Belonging or
             F
Just forever kneeling
                      C
Where is the sense in stealing
                     F
Without the grace to be it


Chorus:

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell


Interlude:

F Em F


Bridge:

C                      F
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors
C                        F
Turning to see if you're cowardly
C                        F
Burning the witches with mother religious
       C                      F
You'll strike the matches and shower me
   C
In water games

Washing the rocks below
           F
Taught and tamed
   C
In time with tear flow


Chorus:

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C
Kissing the tortoise

G     C
Seven seas
G                C
Swimming them so well
G       C
Glad to see
   G
My face among them
C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell



That's it! Pretty simple.

Alternately, you can play a 'C' though the verses with an 'F' on the 3rd line;
I play it this way to give it some variety, and to keep from getting bored while
playing it.

Hope you enjoy it!
