      E               C#m 
	I'd like to be   under the sea
	       A                        B       
	In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

      E              C#m 
	He'd let us in   knows where we've been,
	        A                        B
	In his Octopus's Garden in the shade.
      C#m
	I'd ask my friends to come and see     
      A                B
	An Octopus's Garden with me.

      E               C#m 
	I'd like to be   under the sea
	       A                        B       
	In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.


      E                 C#m 
	We would be warm   below the storm
                 A                           B
	In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
      E                 C#m 
	Resting our head   on the sea bed
	       A                       B
	In an Octopus's Garden near a cave.
      C#m
	We would sing and dance around
      A                     B
	Because we know we can't be found.

      E               C#m 
	I'd like to be   under the sea
	       A                        B       
	In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

      E               C#m 
	We would shout   and swim about
      A                                  B
	The coral that lies beneath the waves.
      E                   C#m
	Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
      A                                    B
	Knowing they're happy and they're safe.
      C#m
	We would be so happy, you and me.
      A                                 B
	No one there to tell us what to do.

      E               C#m
	I'd like to be   under the sea
               A          B	    C#m
	In an Octopus's Garden with you,
	       A          B	    C#m
	In an Octopus's Garden with you,
	       A          B	     E   B   E
	In an Octopus's Garden with you.
