[F#]
Hello there, sun man, won't you come [B] in, sit [F#] yourself down
[B]
[F#] Hey, hey there, sun man, [C#] I know you've been [E] working [C#] downtown
I don't [B] mind you keeping [F#] me waiting, [C#] won't be long [B] before the dawn [F#] is breaking
[E] Come on, sun man, [B] it's [F#] very quiet, come [E] on, sun man, [B] you [F#] stay the night
[C#] We'll wake up in [G#m] the broad [F#] daylight
I dreamed I was walking, I went stepping [B] beside [F#] the sea
When suddenly a stranger, he came [C#] [E] following [C#] after me
He called me up, [B] he says, help me [F#] if you can
For I work [C#] on the beach, [B] I'm the punchin' [F#] Judy man
[B] Every [E] now and [B] then [F#] folk go home, [E] I realise [B] I'm [F#] not alone
[C#] There's voices in the sea, [B] coloured lights [F#] in the fur
We walked together and I [B] formulated [F#] a plan
Anna said just wait there, I fetched the family [E]
[C#] photograph man
Told him the [B] words the [F#] puppeteer had said
And he [C#] answered, he thought, [B] at the boat [F#] of the day
[B] So we [E] waited [B] till the [F#] dark, we [B] saw a silver [F#] moonlit ark
[C#] Beneath it sailed [B] a shining [F#] boat, out on the tideline
Strange [B] singing [F#] voices we heard, so like some colour
Or the flight of [C#m] a golden [C#]
bird
Fine [B] rainfall drifted [D#] from [F#] the sky
[C#] And the golden [B] book with a [F#] carcass sailed by
[B] We waited on [F#] the land, we [E] were dancing [B] hand [F#] in hand
[C#] Wheeling across [B] the [F#] shining sand
Hello there [F#] sandman, won't you come [B] in, set yourself [F#] down
Hey hey there sandman, I know [E] you've been [C#] working downtown
I don't [B] mind you keeping [F#] me waiting
[C#] It won't be long [B] before [F#] the dawn is breaking
[E] Come on sandman, [F#] it's very quiet
[E] Come on sandman, [F#] stay the night
[C#]
We'll wake up [B] in the broad [F#] daylight
