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)

Bridge:

(mellotron: E/Bb tritone, raised gradually to F#/C over 4 bars)

F                Eb        C        [2X]
/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

(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)

Coda:

instrumental (w/wordless backup vocals) over B chord; fade out
