	VERSE 1



E                      G

I really love you, and I mean you

E                   G       A

The star above you, crystal blue

      D           E                   A

Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you



 	TRANSITION:  C G



	VERSE 2

I wouldn't see you, and I love to

I fly above you, yes I do

Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you



 	TRANSITION:  C G G# A



	BRIDGE (?)

A

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth

A                        C G Bb E

The fins a luminous



A

Fangs all 'round the clown is dark

A

Below the boulders hiding

       C                   G  E

All the sunlight's good for us



	VERSE 3

Cause we're the fishes and all we do

The move about is all we do 

Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you



	SOLO 1 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds

                of transitions as shown above to lead in)



	REPEAT BRIDGE



	SOLO 2 (Played over the verse chords, using the same kinds

                of transitions as shown above to lead in)



	REPEAT VERSE 1



	END





Notes: I basically use all E and A shape barre chords for this, which 

       makes it an easy and fun song to play.
