[Ab] [Db] [Eb] [Ab] When I was five, we'd get up at [Db] four, [Ab]

and on each [Db] time I'd [Eb] walk [Ab] away.
[Db] [Eb]
[Bbm] Happy to be [Eb] swimming [Ab] in the sea.
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Eb]

[Db] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
In every pool, stranded by [Db] a [Eb] tide, [Ab] lanterns, fishes and a seaweed hide.
[Db] [Eb] [Bbm] We'd catch them all in a [Eb] fishing net, as close to heaven as we could get.
[Ab] We'd dream of smugglers and pirate ships, lunches, ice cream and a bag of chips.
[Bbm] Happy to [Eb] be swimming [Ab] in the sea.
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Eb] [Ab] Down to a kitty fight, by a rocky shore, was a magical [Db] place to [Ab] tell you I'm in love.
[Db] [Eb]
[Bbm] Now the seagulls are calling [Eb] for me,
[Bbm] hey, come on back to the [Eb] Cornish Sea.
[Ab] They'll buy the [Db] water by [Ab] the foam, just one more [Db] week and I'm [Ab] going home.
