[Verse 1]
G        D                        G
 My, my, my it's a beautiful world
Cadd9       D                  G
     I like swimming in the sea
Cadd9             D                   Em7     G
     I like to go on beyond the white breakers
Cadd9           D
     where a man can still be free
Em7
   Or a woman if you are one
Cadd9       D                  G
     I like swimming in the sea

[Verse 2]
        D                        G
My, my, my it's a beautiful world
Cadd9       D              G
     I like drinking Irish tea
Cadd9                     D       Em7
     With a little bit of lapsang suchon
Cadd9       D            G
     I like making my own tea

[Verse 3]
        D                        G
My, my, my it's a beautiful world
Cadd9       D                G
     I like driving in my car
Cadd9           D
     I roll the top down,
            Em7
sometimes I travel quite far
Cadd9
     Drive to the ocean,
D Em7
     and stare up at the stars
Cadd9       D                G
     I like driving in my car

[Bridge]
Em7                Cadd9 D            G
   All around is anger, automatic guns
Em7                  Cadd9
   Death in large numbers 
               D                  G
No respect for women or our little ones
Em7                     Cadd9
   I tried talking to Jesus
D                  G
 He just put me on hold
Em7                            Cadd9
   Said he'd been swamped with calls this weekend
                   D
could not shake his cold

[Verse 4]
G               D                 G
 And still this emptiness persists
Cadd9                  D               G
     Perhaps this is as good as it gets
Cadd9                            D
     When you've given up a drink and those
   Em7
nasty cigarettes
Cadd9                       D
     Now leave the party early,
Em7
   at least with no regrets
Cadd9                   D
     I watch the sun as it comes up,
Em7
   I watch it as it sets
Cadd9                D               G
     Yeah, this is as good as it gets

[Verse 5]
        D                        G
My, my, my it's a beautiful world
Cadd9       D                  G
     I like sleeping with Marie
Cadd9                D
     She is one sexy girl,
Em7
   full of mystery
Cadd9
     She says she doesn't love me,
D          Em7
 she likes my company
Cadd9               D                 G
     For now, thats good enough for me

[Verse 6]
        D                        G
My, my, my it's a beautiful world
Cadd9       D                  G
     I like swimming in the sea
Cadd9             D                   Em7
     I like to go on beyond the white breakers
Cadd9           D
     where a man can still be free
Em7
   Or a woman if you are one
Cadd9       D                  G
     I like swimming in the sea
    D
Yeah
