G5
River splashes against the rocks
       C5         D5       C5         D5
And I scale the slope I hope the tracks won't
 G5
Lead me down to dark black pits or
  C5      D5       C5       D5
Places where we fall to bits

    G5
If she were there I'd hold her down
      C5       D5       C5        D5
I'll push her under while she drowns and
  G5
Couldn't breathe and call for air
     C5       D5       C5      D5
She doesn't care for my despair


             G5                     C5
Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong?

With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I
G5
Swim along without a care
     C5      D5         C5      D5
I'll eating sand when I need air you can
G5
Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll
 C5       D5    C5      D5
Wolf me down for tea tonight

                        G5
I want to be (I want to be)
                    C5              D5
where the drownings are (drownings are)

You see it in the sea

(no chord)        G
In my Mersey paradise
