[D] [E]
[D] [E]
It was a cold day in London, [D] dark clouds rumbling,
[E] Grabbed the yellow pages [D] under the bed, I noticed an [E] ad, it said,
[A] Indian summer, [Em] ten [D] days of wonder, [E] Paradise is yours [D] for fifty quid,
I thought to myself, [E] that's it,
[D] [E]
Oh do I have to pack the [D] bag,
Forget about the plans we [E] had, We're going to [D] East instead,
She looked at me and [E] shakes her head, [A] I said, oh now baby,
[G] I know it sounds crazy, [E] But this may be the only [D] chance we get,
We only get one [E] life to live, Mmmmm,
[D] [E]
Grabbed the kids and some body [A] lotion, And we went to [G] the middle of the [E] ocean,
[D]
[E]
The guide was there to meet [D] us, Welcome sign to greet us,
[E] Ten potters stood up [D] like a wall, Carried our bags to [E] the hall,
[A] Crystal man smiled to [G] me, Begged [D] so politely,
[E] Tell me sir, have [D] you any more, I looked at him and said, [E] that's all,
Mmmmm,
[A] [D]
[E] They drove to the beach house, [Am] I said, it's all ours,
[E] They nodded and rolled out [D] the bed, [A]
I [D] turned to my wife [E] and said,
[A] Oh now honey, [G] I guess it's still sunny, [E] So let's all go down [D] for a dip,
Before the [E] sun sets,
[Am] [E]
Suddenly I gazed [D] up, On the rising [E] wave, I,
Saw the sea [D] drawn from the sand, I grabbed the wife and kids [E] and laughed,
[A] Please God save [G] us, Please don't blame us,
[E] For this is the only [D] life we have, We'll make it up if we [E] were there,
[A] The wave was a pounding, [G] We scrambled up the mountain,
[E] No one even dared to turn [D] their head, Just one sip and [E] you're dead,
[D]
[E]
The waves were dying, [D] The child was crying,
[E] Searching for her mom [D] and dad, No end rest was all [E] she had,
[A] She held us tight, [G] We looked far and wide,
[E] But nothing there, There was [D] nothing left,
We all broke down and [E] wept,
Mmmmm,
[D]
[E] Mmmmm, Mmmmm,
[D] [E]
Then came the morning, [D] New Year was born,
[E] The girl had been with us [D] all night, My wife looked down at her [E] own sight,
[A] Oh my darling, [Em] It's suddenly dawning,
[E] But just take a look at those [Bm] eyes, [D]
She must be [E] paradise,
She must be paradise,
She must be [D] paradise,
[E] [G] [D]
