[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
On [D]Dollymount Strand
on a [A]cold winter's night
I put on the handbrake
and switched out the light
I [D]looked at me bird and says [A]aye,
are you right?
Me self and the architect's [D]daughter
But the sea, oh the sea, it [A]crept up on [D]me
And the [A]water was rising up quite rapidly
[D]Says I to the moth,
get your [A]hand off me knee
Can't you see we're surrounded by [D]wa ter
I turned on the ignition and [A]put it in gear
Could I get it moving,
let's hope not a fear
Not [D]if I was there for the
[A]next bloody year
There was sand in the old carbur[D]ettor
The sea, oh the sea, it [A]crept up on [D]me
And the [A]water was rising up quite rapidly
Says [D]I to the mud,
get your [A]hand off me knee
Can't you see we're
surrounded by [D]water[A][D][A]
[D]With water the car was soon fil[A]led to the brim
I said to the mother, the chances are slim
So [D]love, get them off here,
we'll [A]both have to swim
So I let down the window and [D]starboard
The sea, oh the sea, it [A]crept up on [D]me
And the [A]water was rising up quite rapidly
[D]So tie to the knot,
get your [A]hand off me knee
Can't you see we're
surrounded by wa[D]ter
So if ever you go down to
[A]Dollymount Strand
Make sure that the tide's out
and everything's planned
For the [D]burn in the bush
is worth [A]two in the sand,
regardless to what you were [D]after
The sea, the sea, it [A]crept up on [D]me,
and the [A]water was rising
[Em]up q[A]uite rapidly
[D]Says I to the man,
get your [A]hand off me knee,
can't you see we're
surrounded by wa[D]ter you
