Verse 1:
G
I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye
Am
Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree
G
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)
[repeat 4/4 section of intro]
Verse 2:
I walked through a field that just wasn't real
With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
What flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
And music played ever so loudly)
(mellotron: F#/C tritone, lowered gradually to E/Bb over 2 bars)
Verse 3:
I started to fall and suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

instrumental (w/wordless backup vocals) over B chord; fade out
