The octopus [C] has three hearts [F] and lives in [D] caves below the sea, [C] or in a beer [G] can or [F] a
bathtub [Dm] [E] or a puddle in [Am] the street.

All [E] the wind stops [Am] for miles, even the waves [C] stand still.
[F] All the [Fm] witnesses have sworn, and [C] it's impossible [G]
to [F] resist [E] the urge to jump [Am] over board.
