Tuning: Standard Capo on 2
Gonna {} crawl upon the shore {} {}
Roll in the {} mud and the clay () ()
Like the {} swallows of San Juan
Iâm gonna get {} back {} some day {} {} {}
A thousand steps to the water
A thousand steps you must take
Thereâs a thousand worlds on the head of a pin
A thousand rules to break
Chorus
{Em }Next time you see me
Iâm gonna {Bm} smile for the camera
Like some {C} wild man from Pom{G}peii
{Em} Take my word, go {Bm} down to the sea
Itâs {C} breaking bigger than anything any of us have ever seen
Repeat 1st verse
Instrumental verse
Had a blond TV special*
And an English half stack**
I lost the both in a deal
But some day, some day Iâll get them back
Repeat chorus
Repeat Verse 1 (fade out on repeating last line)
* a Gibson circa 1955 - 1961
** a Marshall half stack or a Vox?
