Octopus

[Intro]
| Bb - | - Eb7 | Gb B7 | Ab - |

[Verse 1]
Bb      Eb7
Trip to heave and ho
Gb       B7
Up down, to and fro'
            Ab
You have no word
Bb              Ab
Trip, trip to a dream dragon
Bb                   Ab
Hide your wings in a ghost tower
Bb                Ab                  Bb
Sails cackling at every plate we break

[Bridge]
Bb                          A
Cracked by scattered needles
    Ab
The little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
Madam you see before you stand
Hey ho, never be still
The old original favorite grand
Grasshoppers green Herbarian band
                                    F7
And the tune they play is "In Us Confide"

[Verse 2]
   Bb      Eb7
So trip to heave and ho
Gb       B7
Up down, to and fro'
            Ab
You have no word

[Chorus]
F                   Bb
Please leave us here
F             Bb       Bb7     Eb
Close our eyes  to the octopus ride!

[Verse 3]
Gb
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
                                        G
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
Ab                   Db
Meant even less to me  than I thought
       Ab                     Db
With a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds
Ab                    Db             F7
Clover honey pots and mystic shining feed

[Verse 4]
          Bb
Well, the madcat laughed
       Eb7
At the man on the border
Gb      B7
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
Bb                        Ab
"Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo
     Bb                           Ab
It's true in their tree they cried

[Chorus]
F                   Bb
Please leave us here
F             Bb       Bb7     Eb   F
Close our eyes  to the octopus ride!
F                   Bb
Please leave us here
F             Bb       Bb7     Eb
Close our eyes  to the octopus ride!

[Verse 3]
    Bb
The madcat laughed
       Ab
At the man on the border
Bb      Ab
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
    Bb                      Ab
The winds they blew and the leaves did wag
Bb                   Ab
They'll never put me in their bag
    Bb                  Ab
The seas will reach and always seep
   Bb              Ab
So high you go, so low you creep
    Bb               Ab
The wind it blows in tropical heat
    Bb                    Ab
The drones they throng on mossy seats
    Bb                    Ab
The squeaking door will always creak
    Bb                 Ab
Two up, two down we'll never meet
   Bb                Ab
So merrily trip forgo  my side

[Chorus]
F                   Bb
Please leave us here
F             Bb       Bb7     Eb
Close our eyes  to the octopus ride!
