[Verse 1]
E
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking' over cross eyed had a big
Bsus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
E
When I got up all the blood to my head
Bsus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
E
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
Bsus4
What will I find will I find will I find
E
All I saw was a man that had a hat
Bsus4
That had a pom-pom he's been there for
Years can someone tell me how long
[Chorus]
E Bsus4
Wake up to tell me

E
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
Bsus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
E
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
Bsus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
E
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
Bsus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
E
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
Bsus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
E
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
Bsus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
E
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
Bsus4
And said this is all I really need to get by
[Chorus]
E Bsus4
Wake up to tell me
E Bsus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find
E Bsus4
Wake up to tell me
E Bsus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find

I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig
E
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle
Bsus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
E
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
Bsus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
E
Inside was the antidote to the spell
Bsus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
E
Said don't worry bout a thing you know you path is true
Bsus4
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
E
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me
Bsus4
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
E
But just before we Left and started kicking it (kicking it)
Bsus4
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
E
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
Bsus4
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach

Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
E
