Octopus Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][F][Bb][G]

[Verse 1]
[A]Trip to [D]heave and ho,
[F]up down, [Bb]to and fro'
You have no [G]word
[A]Trip, trip to a [G]dream dragon
[A]Hide your wings in a [G]ghost tower
[A]Sails crackling at [G]every plate we [A]break

[Bridge 1]
[A]Cracked by scattered [G#]needles
The [G]little minute gong
Coughs and clears his throat
Madam you see before you stand
Hey ho, never be still
The [G]old original favorite grand
Grasshoppers green Herbarian band
And the tune they play in us con[E]fide

[Chorus 1]
So [A]trip to [D]heave and ho,
[F]up down, [Bb]to and fro'
You have no [G]word
[E]Please leave us [A]here
[E]Close our [A]eyes to the octopus [D]ride
[Eb][E]

[Verse 2]
[F]Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the [F#]wood
[G]Meant even less to [C]me than I thought
With a [G]honey plough of yellow [C]prickly seeds
[G]Clover honey pots and [C]mystic shining [E]feed

[Chorus 2]
Well, the [A]madcap laughed
at the [D]man on the border
[F]Hey ho, [Bb]huff the Talbot
[A]Cheetah he cried shouted [G]kangaroo
So [A]through their tree they [G]cried
[E]Please leave us [A]here
[E]Close our [A]eyes to the octopus [D]ride[D]

[Interlude 1]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E]

[Chorus 3]
[E]Please leave us [A]here
[E]Close our [A]eyes to the octopus [D]ride
[D][D][D]

[Verse 3]
The [A]madcap laughed
at the [G]man on the border
[A]Hey ho, [G]huff the Talbot
The [A]winds they blew and the [G]leaves did wag
And [A]they'll never put me [G]in their bag
The [A]seas will reach and [G]always see
So [A]high you go, so [G]low you creep
The [A]winds it blows in [G]tropical heat
The [A]drones they throng on [G]mossy seats
The [A]squeaking door will [G]always creep
Two [A]up, two down we'll [G]never meet
So [A]merrily trip for [G]good my side

[Chorus 4]
[E]Please leave us [A]here
[E]Close our [A]eyes to the octopus [D]ride
[Eb][E]

[Outro 1]
