Song: Oceanside
E C#m,
Sweet Annabelle, is seen reclining on an ocean swell,
F#m
As the waves do lather up to lay her down
A
Till she's fast and sleeping
Oh well, I guess I'm something of a ne'er do well
Who fell asleep at the pealing of the steeple bell
I'm on task and keeping
E F#m
But oh, if I could only get you oceanside,
A E Esus4 E
To lay your muscles wide, it'd be heavenly
E F#m A
Oh, if I could only coax you overboard, to leave these lolling shores,
E B5 B5 F#m A Am E
To get you oceanside, oceanside, oceanside
E C#m F#m A Am E

At rising tide, you're looking fresher than a July bride
We're picking up what our mothers always stigmatized
The field is right for reaping
Oh well, I guess I'm something of a ne'er do well
Even though that's something I could never do well
I'm on track and keeping
But oh, if I could only get you oceanside,
To lay your muscles wide, it'd be heavenly
Oh, if I could only coax you overboard, to leave these lolling shores,
To get you oceanside, oceanside, oceanside
