Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
The mornin' wind and the smell of ancient springtimes
F# minorF#m
Smoke stacks build the skyline of this town
H D MajorD
This could have been a jungle out of a children's book
F# minorF#m
If those power palls wouldn't remind us of our time
Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
Today I am a bulgy submarine
F# minorF#m
Floating patiently below the surface
BB D MajorD
Below the oil slick, and below the sunlight
F# minorF#m
And this is exactly where I was meant to be
Chorus 1:
BB
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
D MajorD A augmentedA
And please don't say you know me
E MajorE BB
'Cause you don't know me

You got it all wrong
Not above the water
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
But below there is my home, home
Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
Deep down in the blue we blossom fairly
F# minorF#m
Submarine bodies and creatures of the night
BB
The deeper you come visitin' us,
D MajorD
the more the pressure will condense you
F# minorF#m
It's the cruel beings for whom the eclipse was made
Verse 4:
F# minorF#m
I coil up down there and dream of your chunky strong hands
F# minorF#m
With which you used to carve me wooden swords
BB D MajorD
The memories, they vanish as we dive
F# minorF#m
And if you go for this feel free to come on board
Chorus 2:
BB
Leave me alone with all my cheap dreams
D MajorD A augmentedA
And please don't say you know me
E MajorE BB
'Cause you don't know me at all
BB
You got it all wrong
Not above the water
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
But below there is my home, home
