June was the lobster [C]
shell I dug by hand, [Cm] a haven that hid me well [Eb] beneath the sand.
[Cm] The wide, windy waves washed [Bb] in.
When I stayed [Cm] dry, the great breakers broke again, [Ab] because I got it [Eb] all [Bb] inside.
And [Ab] then, when the emperors [Cm] were out of [Bb] ground, and my eyes [Eb] turned blue and [Ab] green, I heard
a gorgeous [Cm]
[Bb] sound.
It's when it [Eb] became a [Ab] dream, when the sky [Cm] fell [Bb] in, when the [Eb] hurricanes came for [Ab] me,
I could finally [Cm] crash [Bb] again, and that's how I [Eb] became [Cm] sea.

[Cm] I wrenched the engines [Bb] off, and drained them down.
[Cm] The depths turned the irons off, as [C] they swiftly turned.
[Cm] And I brought the ocean
[Bb] side to its rusty [Cm] knees, as I felt the even tide, [Ab] deep in my [Eb] shallow [Bb] dreams.
And then, when the [Cm] emperors were [Bb] out of ground, and my eyes turned [Eb] blue and [Ab] green, I heard
a [Cm] gorgeous
[Bb] sound.
It's when it [Eb] became a [Ab] dream, when the sky [Cm] fell
[Bb] in, when the [Eb] hurricanes came for [Ab] me,
I could finally [Cm] crash [Bb] again, and that's how [Eb] I became the [Ab] sea.
