The octopus has 3 hearts
F                  Fm
And lives in caves below the sea
        C        G    F
Or in a beer can or a bath tub
     E             Am
Or a puddle in the street
                  C
Any fisherman can tell you
        F       Fm
When an octopus waves its arms
   C    G     F
It hypnotizes schools of fish
    E                  Am
All movement stops for miles
                     C
Even the waves stand still
        F              Fm
All the witnesses have sworn
         C      G      F
And it’s impossible to resist
    E            Am
The urge to jump overboard
G
       C
That’s why I try and stay away
     F               Fm
From seashore holidays
      C         G      F
But I know that no one has to know
     C       G       F
If I take an evening stroll
C           G          F
Down to the end of the wooden peer
          E                Am
Where the water’s deep and cold

                   C
If I should see an octopus
F             Fm
Lift its arms out of the sea
   C       G      F
Or see its shadow rising up
          E                  Am
Cross the rooftops above the streets
                         C
I’d follow those dancing limbs
       F             Fm
To the spinning edge of the sky
C             G          F
Where all the boats fall off the world
     E             Am
Into the octopus’s eye
G
       C
That’s why I know I shouldn’t go
     F                 Fm
On a cruise across the sea
      C         G      F
But I know that no one has to know
     C       G       F
If I take an evening stroll
