[Intro ]A 

D                    F#m            G  
Across the sand, the stones and the shells  
                    Em7  
I went down to the sea  
     D                    F#m     Em  
And the golden haired ballerina came down  
    G             A  
And swam along with me  
        D  
We were strangers out in the ocean  
       G               Em7  
Somehow shyness stayed ashore  
      Bm7          A  G    D  
And I watched the ballerina  
 Em              A        D  
Dive and dance down to the floor  
     G  Em     D   Bm  
Ballerina, ballerina  
 Em G       A  
Water   ballerina  
     G  Em     D   Bm Bm7  
Ballerina, ballerina  
 Em     A  D    G   D   G   D   G   A  
Water   ballerina  
       D  
As the sun went down on the ocean  
        G                  Em  
And the night our time did steal  
      D  
We swam on in salty heaven  
       Em      G     A  
It was too good to be real  
     D  
So I left her a silver dolphin  
     G                     Em  Em7  
In a place where she could see  
        Bm       A        G       D  
So that one day out at her swimming  
   Em       A      D  
She might remember me  
     G  Em     D   Bm  
Ballerina, ballerina  
 Em G      A  
Water  ballerina  
     G  Em     D   Bm Bm7  
Ballerina, ballerina  
 Em     A   D    G   D   G   D   G   A  
Water   ballerina  
 D            F#m       G             Em  
Water ballerina with such golden curly hair  
       Bm      A         G  
She is gone now, like the summer  
      Em      A        D  
To a beach in God knows where
