{capo: 2}
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
Gonna {[G]} crawl upon the shore {[C]} {[D]}
Roll in the {[G]} mud and the clay [C] [D]
Like the {[G]} swallows of San Juan
Im gonna get {[C]} back {[D]} some day {[G]} {[C]} {[D]}
A thousand steps to the water
A thousand steps you must take
Theres a thousand worlds on the head of a pin
A thousand rules to break
{section: Chorus}
{Em }Next time you see me
Im gonna {Bm} smile for the camera
Like some {C} wild man from Pom{G}peii
{Em} Take my word, go {Bm} down to the sea
Its {C} breaking bigger than anything any of us have ever seen
Repeat 1st verse

Had a blond TV special*
And an English half stack**
