All I saw was a man that had a hat

And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
B
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
F#sus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
B
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
F#sus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
B
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
F#sus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
B
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
F#sus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
B
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
F#sus4
And said this is all I really need to get by

F#sus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
B
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
F#sus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
