[Verse 1]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Come all ye starry star-fish, living in the deep blue sea
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Crawl to me, I have a propo-sition to make thee
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Would you walk the North Sea floor, to Belgium from Eng-land
[Chorus 1]
B B/F# G#m
Bring me word of a banjo man
E B B/F# B B/F#
With a tattoo on his hand
[Verse 2]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
The spokesman of the star-fish, spoke as spokesman should
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
If'n you met our fee, then certainly we would
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Should you cast a looking-glass u-pon the scalloped sand
[Chorus 2]
B B/F# G#m
You'll have word o' this banjo man
E B B/F# B B/F#
With a tattoo on his hand
[Verse 3]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Come all ye starry star-fish, I know your ways are caped
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Maybe its be-cause you're astro-logically shaped
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Converse with the herring shoals, as I know you can
[Chorus 3]
B B/F# G#m
Bring me word o' the banjo man
E B B/F# B B/F#
With a tattoo on his hand
[Verse 4]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
The eldest of the star-fish, spoke after a sigh
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
"Youthful as you are young man you have a wisdom high
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Surely you must know a looking-glass is made from sand
[Chorus 4]
B B/F# G#m
These young fish are fooling you
E B B/F# B B/F#
A-bout your banjo man
[Verse 5]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Come then aged star-fish, riddle me no more
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
For news I am wea-ry, and my heart is sore
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
All on the silent sea-shore, help me if you can
[Chorus 5]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
Tell to me, if you know, of my banjo man
[Verse 6]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Now all through the seven o-ceans, I am a star most famed
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Many 'leggys' have I lost, many have I gained
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Strange to say, quite recent-ly, I've been to Flemish Land
[Chorus 6]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
And if you are courteous, I'll tell you all I can
[Verse 7]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Oh you have my full at-ten-tion", I answered him with glee
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
His brother stars were twink-ling, in the sky above the sea
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
There I sat there with rapt at-tention, on the sand
[Chorus 7]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
Very anxious for to hear, of the banjo man
[Verse 8]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
I have seen this tattooed hand, through a ship port-hole
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Steaming on the watery main, through the waves so cold
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Heard his tinkling banjo, and his voice so grand
[Chorus 8]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
But you must come to Belgium, to shake the tattooed hand
[Verse 9]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Oh gladly would I come, gladly would I go
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Had I not my work to do, and my face to show
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
I re-joice to hear he's well, but I must go in-land
[Chorus 9]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
Thank you for the words you brought, of my banjo man
[Verse 10]
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
I walked a-long the evening sand, as charcoal clouds did shift
B B/F# B B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Re-vealing the moon shi-ning, on the pebble drift
B B/F# B B/F# E B B/F# B B/F#
Contem-plating every other word, the starfish said
[Chorus 10]
B B/F# G#m E B B/F# B B/F#
Whistly winds, they filled my dreams, in my dreaming bed
