[Verse 1]
G#
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking' over cross eyed had a big
D#sus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
G#
When I got up all the blood to my head
D#sus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
G#
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
D#sus4
What will I find will I find will I find
G#
All I saw was a man that had a hat
D#sus4
That had a pom-pom he's been there for
Years can someone tell me how long
[Chorus]

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

Wake up to show me what I could not find

I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig
G#
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle
D#sus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
G#
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
D#sus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
G#
Inside was the antidote to the spell
D#sus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
G#
Said don't worry bout a thing you know you path is true
D#sus4
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
G#
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me

The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
G#
But just before we Left and started kicking it (kicking it)
D#sus4
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
G#
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
D#sus4
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
G#
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet
D#sus4
Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
