	In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

	He'd let us in knows where we've been,
	A                              B

	E                C#m 
	We would be warm below the storm
	A                                  B
	In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
	E                C#m 
	Resting our head on the sea bed
	A                             B
	In an Octopus's Garden near a cave.
	C#m
	We would sing and dance around
	A                  B
	Because we know we can't be found.
	E              C#m
	I'd like to be under the sea
	A               B             E
	In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

	The coral that lies beneath the waves.
	E                C#m
	Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
	A                                 B
	Knowing they're happy and they're safe.
	C#m
	We would be so happy, you and me.
	A                               B
	No one there to tell us what to do.
