[VERSE 1]
Em F#/G G C B
Tuesday at dawn Michael's glasses washed ashore
Em F#/G G C Em
with a styrofoam box and two broken oars.
Em F#/G G C B
He'd been digging for clams in the muddy swamp weeds
Em F#/G G C Em
when he heard the salt water whisper to him,
[CHORUS]
C G
"Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
D Am
When you get to the bottom we'll kiss you to sleep."
C G
"Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
D Em
When you get to the bottom we'll kiss you to sleep."

[VERSE 2]
Em F#/G G C B
Michael threw his glasses in the cold green water.
Em F#/G G C Em
Hermit crabs ran as he dove down under.
Em F#/G G C B
One of his shoes bobbed on the waves.
Em F#/G G C Em
Seagulls circled 'til it finally sank.
[CHORUS]
C G
"Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
D Am
When you get to the bottom we'll kiss you to sleep."
C G
"Lie down, lie down in the dark rolling sea.
D Em
When you get to the bottom we'll kiss you to sleep."
