[Bb] [Eb]
[Gb] [B]
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] To even hoe, [Gb] up, [B] down, to and fro, you [Ab] have no word.
[Gb] [Bb] Drift, [Ab] drift to a dream [Bb] dragon, hide your [Ab] wings in a ghost [Bb] tower.
Sails, [Ab] cackling at every break [Bb] we break, cracked by scattered needles.
[A] [Ab] Little mini-concoffs and clears its throat, madam you see before you stand.
They both never be still, the old original favourite grand.
Drops of a screen of air in band, in the tune they play is an ask [F] and fight.
[Bb] So drift [Eb] to, even hoe, [Gb] up, [Eb] down, to and fro, [Ab] you have no word.
[F] Please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb] [F] close [Bb] our eyes to the [Eb] octopus ride.
[E]
[Gb] Good to be locked in the woods, it's bad to be quiet there.
In the [G] woods,
[Ab] good to be [Db] listening to my thoughts, [Ab] as a hunched clown [Db] goes looking to see,
[Ab] where the honey [Db]-bustling mystic [F] shines in me.
[Bb] When my cat [Eb] laughed at the man on the [Gb] border, and great [B] old Hufflepuff [Gb] told her,
[Bb] he'd [Eb] done [Ab] shot a kangaroo, [Bb] to burn that [Ab] tree they cried.
[F] Please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb]
[F] close [Bb] our eyes to the [Eb] octopus ride.
[F]
[Fm]
[F]
Please [Bb] leave us here, [F] close [Bb]
our eyes to the octopus [Gb]
[Eb] ride.
[Bb] When my cat [Ab] laughed at the man on the [Bb] border, and [Eb] great [Ab] old Hufflepuff told [Bb] her,
the wind stayed [Ab] through and the leaves did [Bb] wave.
The clown never put [Ab] me in their bag, [Bb] the seeds were [Ab] eaten, always [Gbm]
[Bb] seen.
So hide your gulls, [Ab] so loud you creep, [Bb] the wind it blows [Ab] in tropical heat.
[Bb] The drums they've [Ab] thrown on mossy sheets, [Bb] the wicking [Ab] door will always creak.
[Bb] You up to [Ab] now will never leave me, [Bb] so merrily [Ab] slip and go to my side.
[F] Please leave [Bb] us here, [Eb]
[F] close [Bb] our eyes to the [Eb] octopus ride.
[E] [F] [Gb]
