        E5                                      C5
     So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
                                 E5
     I had to turn my heart away
                                           C5
     Smile like the Sun - kisses for ev'ry one
                          E5
     and tales - it never fails!
     
        CHORUS 1
                  C5                    E5
        You lying so low in the weeds
          C5                        E5
        I bet you gonna ambush me
                      D5                            A5
        You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
                 (tacet)       E5           F#5  G5
        Now wouldn't you, Barracuda?
      

     E5                                          C5
     Back over time when we were all trying for free
                                      E5
     you met up with porpoise and me
                                            C5
     No right, no wrong; selling a song - a name
             E5
     Whisper game.
     
        CHORUS 2 
                   C5                             E5
        And if the real thing don't do the trick
                   C5                        E5
        You better make up something quick
                  D5                                A5
        You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
                   E5
        Oooh, Barracuda?
     

      C5
     "Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
     A5                                        E5
     Dive down deep, now.  Save my head. You ...
     
     I think that you got the blues too.
     C5 
     All that night and all the next
     A5
     Swam without looking back
                          E5
     Made for the western pools -- silly, silly fools.
