 Verse 1: 
  
 	    G 
 	I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye 
 	     Am 
 	Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree 
 	     G 
 	And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe 
 	           Bb      Eb/Bb Bb 
 	Which was letting in water (letting in water) 
 	                                     (letting in water) 
  
 [repeat 4/4 section of intro] 
  
 Verse 2: 
  
 	I walked through a field that just wasn't real 
 	With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder 
 	And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe 
 	Which was letting in water (letting in water) 
 	                                     (letting in water)

 	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / / 
  
 	(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross 
 	 What flew through a crack in the cloud 
 	 To a place where happiness reigned all year round 
 	 And music played ever so loudly) 
  
 	(mellotron: F#/C tritone, lowered gradually to E/Bb over 2 bars) 
  
 Verse 3: 
  
 	I started to fall and suddenly woke 
 	And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat 
 	And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe 
 	Which was letting in water (letting in water) 
 	                                     (letting in water)
