Verse:
Bm              Em
I fell into the ocean
A7                 D
 And you became my wife
G7           F#7
 I risked it all against the sea
                 Bm
To have a better life
          Em                A7
Marie you are the wild blue sky
          D
Men do foolish things
G7              F#7
 You turn kings into beggars
                 Bm
And beggars into kings

Chorus:
   G                    D
Pretend that you owe me nothing
    A7               D
And all the world is green
G                      D
 We can bring back the old days again
     A7               D    D/a A#m
When all the world is green

Solo:
NOTE: The song changes key to C minor for the solo. The D/a and A#m that lead
you back into the verse from the chorus are replaced with G7 to lead you into
C minor. The solo sequence is played exactly the same as the verse except that
everything is moved up 1 fret. Stay in C minor for the final verse.
