I have a drink, I start to sink 
C#m      E          B   E F# 
I put my toe in the ocean 
G#       E      B           F# 
I have a drink, I start to sink 
C#m      E          B   E F# 
Another toe in the ocean

Down on the shelf, an elf I saw 
C#m        E                B   E F# 
I took his picture, he was waving 
G#       E      B           F# 
I passed again and now they're gone 
C#m         E               B   E F# 
I think my picture is worth saving

Making love in the cool, black sand

Thinking where I've been

Another toe in the ocean

Merry making with the fairies 

C#m        E       B   E   F# 
Going down to the onion patch 

G#            E       B      F# 
To you and me, to shining seas 

G#            E       B      F# 
I see the lights of Edward Thatch
