*G    G/B     G/E    G/D
 I must admit I was a bit in the red

They can't take away

 Hear the sea sing
   G    Am
See a smiling face
C
 I think we're OK
       G    Am
Though we all could be mad

 And there's another whirl
      G  Am
They can't ever touch
C
 Just need a boy and girl
     G    Am
It don't cost you much
C
 And if your luck is in
        G    Am
You might have kids at play
C
 To make you laugh and sing
