Maybe if a bomb wasn’t dropped on his City

Running and jumping into the sea

Verse 5
C#m B
He was a great big fish in a great big pool
A
Swimming around just trying to keep his cool
C#m B
But he ended up in the USA
A
Where the summertime swimmers made easy prey
Verse 6
C#m B
But creature of the deep, no matter how tough
A
Shouldn’t go around treating folk’s so rough
C#m B
‘Cause a couple of canny guys in a fishing boat
A
Stuck some explosives right down his throat
Bridge
E B
But there’s no need to worry, no need to fear

The creatures of these tales you hear
E B
But unlike these beasts of mythology
F#m D
There may be one lurking in either you or me

Tell me now who hasn't felt like a monkey
F#m
Caught a long way from their tree?

Wishing you could just get back on home
F#m D E
And forget the troubles of the city
