Verse 1:

Fmaj7              G
 Fine rock—pooling coast,
     C        C/B    Am    Am/G
This starfish on the toast,
    Fmaj7                           G
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.

Verse 2:

Fmaj7           G
 Far across the harbour,
     C         C/B   Am   Am/G
And 'round the sandy cove,
    Fmaj7                              G
The shepherd with his pipe and sheepy, drove.

Verse 3:

Fmaj7               G
 Big cloud tumbling high,
    C       C/B    Am   Am/G
The amazing flying sky,
Fmaj7                            G
 How the gulls are pillaging the town.

Verse 4:

    Fmaj7           G
Fan faring daffodil—ly,
C        C/B   Am     Am/G
 Trumpet—ingly small,
Fmaj7                      G
 All along the bathing hut wall.

Verse 5:

Fmaj7           G
 Far across the empty beach,
    C        C/B       Am    Am/G
The tide has left this world,
Fmaj7                        G
 Old men in tweed find study there.

Verse 6:

Fmaj7               G
 Holding whelks and periwinkles,
C         C/B    Am    Am/G
 Tingling in his hand.
Fmaj7                              G
 Little does he know they hold him too.

Verse 7:

Fmaj7              G
 Fine rock—pooling coast,
     C        C/B    Am    Am/G
This starfish on the toast,
    Fmaj7                           G
The men in the crabbing boats, they cry.
