Gsus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
C
When I got up all the blood to my head
Gsus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
C
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
Gsus4
What will I find will I find will I find
C
All I saw was a man that had a hat

You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
Gsus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
C
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
Gsus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
C
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
Gsus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
C
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
Gsus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
C
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
Gsus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
C
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
Gsus4
And said this is all I really need to get by

Gsus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
C
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
Gsus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
C
Inside was the antidote to the spell
