Verse sequence:
Bm Em A7 D
I fell into the ocean and you became my wife
G7 F#7 Bm
I risked it all against the sea to have a better life
Em A7 D
Marie you are the wild blue sky, men do foolish things
G7 F#7 Bm
You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings
Chorus sequence:
G D A7 D
Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green
G D A7 D (A#m)
We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green
NOTE: The A#m leads you back into the verse from the chorus.
Solo sequence:
The song changes key to C minor for the clarinet solo. The D/a and A#m are replaced with
to lead you into C minor.
The solo sequence is played exactly the same as the verse sequence except that
is moved up 1 semitone (1 fret). Stay in C minor for the last verse.
