We (C)skipped the light fan (Am)dan go,
though in cart wheels ’cross the (Dm7)floor;
I was (G)feel ing kind of (G7)sea ing sick,

say ing, room was hum ming hard er
as the (G)ceil ing flew a (Em)way.
When we (C)called out for an (Am)oth
er (Em)drink
that my wait er brought a tray.
(Em)And so it (C6)was
that (Am)lat er
as the (F)mill er told his (Dm7)tale,

She (C)said, “I’m home on (Am)shore leave,”

So I (G)took her by the (G7)sea ing glass
