Csus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
F
When I got up all the blood to my head
Csus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
F
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
Csus4
What will I find will I find will I find
F
All I saw was a man that had a hat

You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
Csus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
F
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
Csus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
F
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
Csus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
F
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
Csus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
F
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
Csus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
F
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
Csus4
And said this is all I really need to get by

Csus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
F
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
Csus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
F
Inside was the antidote to the spell
Csus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
